    monogamy is based on old property laws, on normarivity, and enforced by states/religions.

    I’m not sure about that. If you ask anyone in a monogamous relationship, they wouldn’t say that they’re doing that because of the society, state or church.

    I think it’s something much more instinctual and possibly biologically conditioned. Pheromones are a hell of a powerful chemical. If you’ve ever had a crush on someone, you’ll definitely have experienced how it makes you focus everything on that one person, regardless of what you want or what they want or what anyone else including your religion wants.

      English is in part ancient Celtic, but ask any English speaker and they’ll tell you they don’t speak Celtic.

      therefore English doesn’t have Celtic influences…

      yhea, that is why cheating and breakups are so rare in monogamous relationships.
