Polyamory

Firstly, I don't believe in "the one". I believe there can be one person who can be fulfilling enough that you don't need anyone else, but the idea that there is just one person out there for you is ridiculous. Monogamy is a human-made concept that simply benefited us once agriculture made its first big strides.

However, I don't think that realizing this will lead us to a more polyamorous lifestyle. In fact, with the fast pace lifestyle that is so common these days, monogamy will only be reinforced. Most people simply don't have the time or means for more than one relationship.
