DOUBLE DATING OR BACK UP PLANNING?

I just finished an interesting read on one of Nigeria 'site prime social media where the article highlighted a young lady's preference to have a second boyfrien/ lover as a 'back up plan' in case her number one boyfriend decided to act slly and ditch the relationship.
So I ask, will having another intimate affair be seen as a back up plan or a case if double dating?
We are living in a time when nothing is assured anymore.
People do not subscribe to that old time truth that  man's worth is tied to his words. Imagine the series of failed marriages over sometimes very flimsy matters even after the couples would have stopped before man and God to start that it was going to be 'for better or for worse'!
So for God's sake, is it any surprising when people have decided to 'arm' themselves in relationships to ensure they don't come out being lovers as though they were playing a game of chess?
Would we say a man or woman who takes the extra measure of ensuring that he/she doesn't get short changed at the end of a romantic ride is being 'unfaithful'?
I guess we all have our valid justifications either ways so I won't be the judge to give a verdict for or against.
But whichever side of the divide you choose, always give thought to the third party in the equation whilst you try to force your opinion down our Throats! Enough said

  1. To me,double dating is double dating...there's nothing like back up planning...what if u have a back up guy/gal and both of dem decide 2 leave u @ dsame tym?u end up losing both and u'll start all over again..I believe in making my relationship work rather than having a back up guy.

  2. Is better to be focus in ur relationship than fool around double dating in the name of plan 'B'. What if you loose the two and end up in another wrong relationship?
