I agree, Dan. Here's the problem: Do *not* promise to be monogamous, either through marriage vows or otherwise, if you are not going to be. If you change your mind later, be honest with your partner. Pretty simple, really. But it requires integrity, which is something most people obviously lack.
It isn't that they are wrong, just confused: most people don't prefer to be in monogamous relationships, what they prefer that _their partners_ be in monogamous relationships. Call it what you want, (control, a problem with our society in general, whatever,) but most people want other people to behave to their standards, even though they don't always follow them themselves.
The real story here, (or not, since it isn't exactly news,) is that most people are hypocrites...
Maybe it's not "natural" from an evolutionary biology standpoint, but few things are. Evolutionary biology is ever at odds with modern civilization.
Advice from Dan Savage on how to be manogamous is as valid as advice from Sarah Palin on how to be gay.
Way to undermine the marriage equality movement, Dan.
