50% divorce rate. 97% of people (in the US) don't wait till marriage, so most of us have multiple sexual partners prior to the one we stick with. Many have children with more than one partner.

How can anyone look at the world and think, yeah, there's one that's meant for everyone and just one?

Also hope I don't come across disrespectful. If you do believe in monogamy, I am interested in hearing from you. I'm just buzzed and thinking about my own love life and being curt

Edit: Speaking to the idea that it's the "natural order" or default. Not that it can't work in individual circumstances, especially when we've been programmed for decades

Have you heard of people that are asexual, or sapiosexual?

Beyond that, you have to understand that it's very easy to twist numbers in a manipulative way.

For example, it's not 97% of people everywhere don't wait for marriage.

It's 97% of the people who answered whatever survey you're referring to don't wait.

Where the fuck did they get these people from? College? Nightclubs? Any religious organization?

Statistics are not fact. They are ways of organizing data that would otherwise be overwhelming and impossible to parse.
