I very strongly dislike the idea of having monogamy as the only accepted option, but I also strongly dislike the notion of polyamory being somehow inherently superior. It seems to me like mono/poly is to a large degree a personal orientation the same way hetero/bi/homo/othersexuality is. Poly people will be miserable in a mono relationship, but so will mono people in a poly one. (And like with bisexuals, there are people who can be fine with both.)
It's also worth noting that for a lot of people, their membership in these somewhat arbitrary categories is rather fluid and changes based on context and the passage of time.
Very true.
Exactly my point of view.
