It seems that rather primitive reactions like jealousy, territory, and possession are some of the reactions that hold people back from permitting their partner to see others.
As long as there's a stable primary family unit bonded by love.
Another hundred years or so, perhaps humans will be over it, and open relationships will be the norm? |
I actually think this would cause less 'infedelity' and people would be more honest with eachother (meaning, they would be together for the right reasons).
Women and men often play the jealousy gambit on each other... this is the main motivation for cheating that I've seen. It puts the person who isn't cheating in a dependent position. You know they have other options and are willing to take them, so you do different things to try and keep that person from leaving. If you don't care if they sleep with someone else, it doesn't matter. And if someone is that unhappy or simply prefers a different way to live and cheating doesn't change anything, they might just tell the person what's up instead of fooling around.
