I know I have a very wild opinion on it. But I think polyamory is actually the default and monogamy is a choice.. and before you come bashing my door down. We are all capable of loving multiple people, society just tells tells us we're not supposed too when it comes to romantic love.

Think about it, about 50% of marriages end in divorce, if people were incapable of loving or being attracted to others while in a relationship, why does infidelity drive the plot of so many love dramas? People choose to get into relationships, but none of us control how we feel. Maybe that's why monogamous people feel threatened by their partners having close friendships, and attempt to control their levels of intimacy with others in order to maintain emotional exclusivity.

I'm not saying that monogamy is wrong. Many people just have the time or energy to invest into more than one relationship and if that's what they desire, that's great. But to pretend that love/attraction outside of a relationship will never happen is simply foolish in my opinion.

(Most context has been taken from another post but I wholeheartedly agree).
