Do you think monogamy will always be the main "form" of earth or do we just break someday this code and just "do whatever we want" (self.asklemmy)

Will this one-by-one system forever be our main thing or do you think we will break monogamy and maybe "team up" as groups or something?

And yeah polygamy is a thing but do you think it will catch on to "the upper class"?

First world urbanites for sure, but as far as I can tell there's many that are pretty poor by that standard, as queer people often are. I guess I know less about the circumstances of their birth.

I'm guessing rising costs of living may push some young people to poly lifestyles where a polycule lives together and shares bills

That sounds like roommates with extra sex- I mean steps.

Depends on the setup. Triads are groups of three people all in a relationship with each other and in a relationship together. So there’s a total of 4 relationships to manage: relationship AB, BC, AC, nd ABC. Quads are the same but with 4 people and 7 relationships.

So it’s a bit more involved than roommates with extra sex. But yea also roommates with extra sex too.

Sounds like a full time job. Must be exhausting.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Yep. It’s not easy and a lot of people think it’s some amazing relationship goal and when they get there they realize it’s not for them and people get hurt. It’s relationships on hard mode.

It'll probably be a factor, but then you could do the same with roommates, and the historical pattern is of course multi-generational homes. That's what I see happening more and more in real life - it's becoming less unusual to live with parents as an adult.
