[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My question is how would you ever truly know if your spouse has been faithful throughout the course of your marriage?[/quote]

The question is more about whether people have a proclivity for a productive monogamous relationship based on their brain and environment. So if Person A gets married and has no trauma from past relationships related to monogamy and has a brain that  favors monogamy, their likelihood of being able to maintain a positive relationship is higher than others who don't have that same brain and environment.[/quote]

Okay so you  break down some of the idiosyncrasies surrounding people presumably incapable of monogamy (serial cheaters, high sex drive freaks, etc)
How is it that so many of them who never stay faithful in relationships magically *SWITCH UP* when they find their special someone and are capable of sustaining a monogamous relationship for years and years despite their infamous history?
What's up with that? [/quote]

Well there are studies that say infidelity leads to infidelity and so on. Some people I assume grow in their brain and age. Sometimes it is an environment change I assume. Will have to look for some more studies on this.[/quote]

And do those studies suggest that some people are inherently incapable of sustaining a monogamous relationship?
I seriously doubt it.  [/quote]

The ones I've seen just track marriages and divorces and surveys of feelings after relationships[/quote]
Well tracking marriages and divorces doesn't prove anything.  Lots of couples get together remain monogamous and never marry.  Lots of people in relationships cheat on a partner habitually - then they break up and move on to someone else 2 months later and miraculously they never look at another man/woman again.  What's up with that?  I thought they were incapable?  [/quote]
