Infidelity

[supmet]

Ah, the pain humans go through chasing the idea of monogamy. Somehow a few hundred years of religion still hasn't changed the millions of years of evolutionary desire to make babies in the most efficient manner possible. Men are hard wired to put it in as many women deemed to be suitable to have children - THIS is instinctual desire. Instincts overturn logic, reason, and most of all - love. Women are less geared to cheat, as they want men to stick around and protect them and the young - but if they aren't pregnant within a few months, or you are starting to look like you aren't the provider and protector she once though you were - they will soon move on.

So if an arbitrary law passed by religious bigots(who rape children now) 100s of years ago is more important than the person you love, then force them into monogamy and get the marriage counseling check ready. If not, then I think the only rational remedy for the situation is to realize that sex and love are two entirely different things.

they are two different things i agree, but you have to realize that humans are territorial by nature. so you can't just resign yourself to being ok with your lover sleeping around with other people. that's just way easier said than done. i don't think wanting your partner to be respectful of you and your emotions is forcing them into monogamy.
