I said this before, but I'm not sure we're psychologically built to be monogamous. I'm a bit pessimistic with this, but I just can't imagine getting married at, let's say 30, and being genuinely happy with someone for 50 years until we eventually die. I just think surely at some point, you'd have to get bored of seeing that same person's face first thing in the morning and last thing at night, never truly getting any alone time from them because you literally share a room with them every day.
A monogamous relationship is a romantic thought though, so I'm not against it. I would love to find my perfect soul mate who we'd just dedicate ourselves to eachother and be monogamous, but speaking realistically I'm pessimistic it can actually happen without a lot of work.
I'm not saying I just plan to be rambunctious and cheat on anyone I'm with, making them uncomfortable. That's not fair and I don't like when people do it. I do think it's not a bad thing when a couple are in a so-called "open relationship" though, as long as everyone in the concoction is fully aware and comfortable with it.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
