My gut doesn't understand monogamy anymore. In movies, when the character sees their partner flirting with someone else, or even walking in on them cheating (minus the lying part), I'm confused why the character isn't loving and supportive. Getting mad seems so unrealistic.

Yeah, but the bad shit that comes with "seeing it as sacred" in that way makes me think maybe it's pretty damaging to hold that view. Like, can you imagine if we were like "Joe holds friendship as sacred. That's why he doesn't let his friend be friends with anybody else."

The fear is a good point actually. But I don't understand what you mean by "minus the lying part" of cheating -- it's called cheating *because* you are lying, no?
Otherwise, why transition to exclusivity in the first place? Just keep it fair by having an open relationship. -
It is cheating because you're lying, but the issue isn't just lying. Like, you can lie about a wide variety of actions that will piss people off a wide variety when they find out. Lying about stealing a candy is not the same thing about lying about homicide.

I’d add to the lying / contract breach part that cheating creates a *hierarchy* without your agreement: you are not cheating and the other person is. Unequal = unfair.
