Is Monogamy The Exception Or The Rule?

Before western enlightenment and colonization, polygamy was the norm, where one man can have more than one wife and no one was going to make a fuss about it, and in some cultures it was polyandry, where it was the woman who can take more than one husband, stating the point that human beings cannot be sexually exclusive to only one person. But this ideology has almost been sent extinct because human beings have a obsessive sense of ownership which gave way for the idea of monogamy making it one man and one wife. But this arrangement doesn’t seem to be working either, as extra marital affairs are rampant leading to divorce, break ups and the men are scum and women are scum rants on social media. Instead of trying to eradicate a practice, why don’t we find a balance, monogamy is not the default human relationship, if it was it would be working smoothly, I think open relationships are the best no secrets, unlimited fun and you get to go home to the person you think you love.  Photo Credit: Getty
