In all seriousness, our species didn't evolve to the religious social norms of paring. Certainly paring happens. But the truth is for most, most humans go through multiple partners throughout our lives.
Mind you, I am not addressing moral reasons or sexuall preference or spread of desease. The truth is the utopia of finding your soulmate and sticking with them your entire life is utopia. It can and does happen sure, but it is not the norm.
Humans in general, even between friendships and co workers do it for a while and move on.
You can think of relationships like your favorite food. It is great, but if you eat it every day, eventually you want something else for a change.
I have had lots of relationships, enjoyed most of them, but I am long beyond blame. Some things work out, other things don't. And it should not be a slight on anyone if people part company.
I love the movie Scare Face. But I also love Jaws. I also love Beaches, and Mulan. But how many would simply watch the same movie over and over and over.
It is sweet when we hear stories of lifetime love. I won't deny it is appealing. But it is far worse to stay in a loveless relationship that started out as a cruise on The Love Boat, if over time the feelings change, and you get tired of the meal you are eating.
I think it is far more rational to simply go into a relationship enjoying it and also knowing it doesn't have to become WW3 or suicide if it doesn't last.
