People aren’t honest enough with each other and their own needs. Meanwhile we build other dependencies in line term relationships that have nothing to do with physical attraction, but are in most cases are more important for all kinds of reasons.

Monogamy is basis of a lot of unnecessary suffering because it’s resisting a very real need we continue to have even when our relationships become romantically stagnant. If we could all just be honest about it with our SOs without fear, and work together as we do anyway to maintain other commitments to each other, we could have a culture where there’s a lot more freedom to seek more intimacy and love in a way that isn’t dishonest, that isn’t “cheating”.
