Carl and Bob agree that neither of them will spend time alone with another friend. Five years into their friendship, Bob secretly meets up for beers and shooting pool with Alice. Carl asks him where he was -Bob lies. Carl finds out and, furious, ends the friendship. (cont)

So like - Bob did make an agreement, break it, and lie. But this seems of secondary importance to the fact that they literally made each other promise something that is really hard to do in the long run, out of what's probably severe insecurity, and not actually healthy. (cont)

When I see monogamous people cheat in media (or real life?), this is sort of the reaction I have. Yeah - they did break an agreement and lie. But seriously how is nobody talking about the insane agreement they felt pressured to enter in the first place?? No shit they cheated!

I'm not arguing that monogamy is bad because it's not natural, I'm arguing it's bad because it increases the suffering of the people inside it.

Interesting! I don't see monogamy as suffering at all. Awkward first dates is suffering. One night stands with people who have no idea what they're doing is suffering. Most of my married friends are SO GLAD this is over. And you're telling me people sign up for this voluntarily?
