He put it into more words than that, but thats the gist of it.
Anyway, in that sense I would say it is unnatural.
My animal instinct is to pick a winner and burn the earth before and for her. It's already something the current wife and I have discussed. I can't even say no to the ex. She asks me for something and I have a strong compulsion to provide it...this was the understanding that the current wife had to agree to- to be in this relationship with me. My societal contract with her has expired, my biological contract persists until or beyond the death of our child, depending on the circumstance.
Obviously, I'm hoping I die first, and will do anything I can to make that a reality.....also part of who I am, biologically - part and parcel with my understanding with both wives.
Your linked article was nonsense, in service of a religious ideology, not representative of a binding biological reality.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
