I agree the majority of the damage caused by cuckolding/cheating is self created (though the pain is still real). However I do think there is a rational albeit selfish reason to be opposed to partner's cheating. If your partner cheats on you she/he may find out she/he prefers the other person to you. Or at the very least your inadaquaces may become clearer if your partner gets involved with somoene else.

The polyamory community suggests that these issues can be manged. But there is a plausible rational argument that outside relationships reduce stability, at least for some people.

Also I agree that black people are obviously superior in several ways. Black men seem clearly the most athletic overall. Subjectively they are also the hottest imo :)

Another risk of polyamory is increasing the odds of getting involved with someone who is very bad news.

On the other hand, if you choose to be monogamous, then the consequences of a bad partner are more serious.

Also, having other good partners while dealing with a bad partner can make it a lot easier, and help you recognize and get out of it faster.
