Slightly inspired by secret number 3: I think most people have it in them to cheat, and a lot more of them would do it if they thought the could get away with it.

Corollary: I think most people aren't actually monogamous (or at least not monogamous in the "I will only be with one person for the rest of my life" kind of way), but they try really hard to force themselves to be.

I wouldn't be surprised.

While I agree that many people would cheat, given the opportunity, I know a fair number of people who wouldn't. I include myself in that. It's just not something that I would ever feel justified or comfortable in doing, even in a situation where it's revenge or something.

Open relationships aren't for me, either. I think they can work well for people who know themselves and trust that their partners are of the same mind.

You know how you hear some people say "it's just not natural" when they talk about marriage and monogamy? That's the way I feel when I think about cheating.

Okay no. This might be true to you, but this is definitely not true for the anon below who responded to you, myself, or many other people in relationships. Not everyone has the "I would do a shitty thing if I wasn't caught" mindset. Some people are able to put themselves in other people's shoes and realize they wouldn't be able to do a horrible thing because they know how much it would hurt if someone did it to them.

I've been in a closed monogamous relaitonship for years. I did have opportunities presented to me by others in which I would never get caught. And I was never tempted by any of them because it's a shitty thing to do. I know how much my partner would be devastated if I did such a crappy selfish thing, and I know how hurt I would be if they did it to me when such a opportunity presented itself. It's really easy to empathize with your partner on this if you actually care about them.

I'm not saying people like you and anon below don't exist, I'm just saying i think you're a minority. Not a marginal minority, but a minority nonetheless, if you take into account a whole lifetime.
