as the wife in this, I can confirm I would immediately start divorce proceedings over any contemplation of monogamy

What if it was only on his side. Like, do you expect him to mess around

i'm interested to see Jen's answer here but my take is that she wouldn't immediately divorce me for ceasing to mess around, but it would erode my value to her as a source of status in a fashion that may threaten the marriage in the long term

How (mathematically) does your status vary with number of mates

I'd be shocked into re-examination of our relationship if chaos suddenly changed in such a way that he wanted/ needed only me as a partner. The status thing is way down the list as I gain reflected status from him primarily in other ways.
