Man an woman bonded to create families. This has been the case for 10,000s of years. The shit your espousing is just hedonistic autism. I see this as further destruction of western values.

Polyamory is older than marriage since the latter is a constructed institution that didn't always exist. If it hadn't been a serious threat to marriage before, I don't see why it would be now.

One of the things I've noticed is that women who are away from their partners for significant amounts of time, like in the military, oil rig workers, long distance relationships, workaholics, etc, generally don't stay faithful. Perhaps you've heard of the much maligned Jody who takes care of neglected military wives.

So what are your options here

  • she cheats, doesn't tell you, and you live blissfully unaware
  • she cheats, doesn't tell you, and you find out anyways
  • she cheats, tells you, and you always have to live with a betrayal
  • she cheats, tells you, and you divorce her ass
  • she doesn't cheat, but you are never certain because this is probably more rare than people want to think about

Monogamy is hardly perfect.

The Old Testament approach was that if she gets caught, she and the guy get stoned to death. Seems like the best way to me.

Ok, degenerate.
