Will this one-by-one system forever be our main thing or do you think we will break monogamy and maybe “team up” as groups or something?

And yeah polygamy is a thing but do you think it will catch on to “the upper class”?

I think monogamous people could all do with a dose of the lessons and the vocabulary the polyamory community has developed over the years. Even if they never have more than one partner it helps to have the words to talk about things and the awareness of when you might be treating your partner unfairly out of emotional reflexes.

Polyamory has taught me more about healthy relationships in 3 years than 14 years in a monogamous marriage did.

Where would one find this vocabulary?

ETA: I may have answered my own question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamory
