If one consciously chooses monogamy that's fine of course. But how many people choose out of fear, jealousy, cultural pressures? |
I agree that there are societal/family expectations that idealize monogamy and many probably choose out of fear, guilt, standards of their family, and lots of pressure from culture.
At the end of the day, we must find what gives us the most fulfillment in a healthy way; not self-seeking or self-serving but rather a partnership and in being honest and open.
