none of this is to say that monogamy isn't possible, but it seems to me that people should strive for it with the truth in mind. Yes, but why should they strive for it if it's not what they really want?
I have no rules for the world's relationships. I think as long the relationship works for the partners involved, that's fine.
I personally want a monogamous relationship, and I've been in one for 16 years now. It's not easy, it's not perfect, and it comes with many pros and cons, sacrifices and gifts.
It's a conscious choice, not a natural state of being.
The "confusion" comes from people saying they want "a" (singular) relationship when they really don't.
