If you truly love someone, you want to stay loyal and monogamous, but a lot of people are not wired to stay with one person for the rest of their lives. They become restless.
I understand what you are saying. I don't even have to think about it.. I am happy to be with just one person. No need to try all the cookies...

Yep, when you can't commit to it.

I see nothing wrong with monogamy or polyamory. I have a problem with anyone participating in either when it is not what they want. I also have a problem with forcing someone to live with it without their consent or knowledge.
