Well, no. They tell their partner their inclinations before they cheat so the partner is given fair warning if they wish to continue with the relationship or no.
And that's not being selfish? It will certainly cause great hurt feelings. I don't believe in honesty even if it's more likely to do harm than dishonesty. I'd rather my partner just do it secretly and get it out of their system. I wouldn't think they were doing me a favor by doing what you're advocating.
People change over time, and can't always foresee that they'll do so. An agreement which seemed sound at the time it was made may not work in the future.
So? Then you follow the established procedures to end the agreement. Just like any other legal agreement. If you break the agreement before ending it, then you may be subject to some kind of penalty... just like if you break any other contract while it's terms are active.
You can be forced to marry? I thought you could opt out of getting married and still practice the forms of bigamy/polygamy. You can even marry one person (keep it legal, folks!) and still practice the forms of any other thing you wish.
Yeah but I want to have 700 wives and 300 concubines like King Solomon did.

Well that is your choice if you'd rather have your partner do it secretly..not everyone else feels that way.
Yeah, people can justify ****ty behavior in any way they wish, but it doesnt change the fact that they are being selfish. Just like the author of this article. If you need to try this hard to justify your whorish behavior, than perhaps you need better command of your actions or accept that youre a *****.
What selfishness are you speaking of? Any kind of relationship can be selfish if that's the motivation of one or more of the participants. It seems you have a conservatively narrow view of what constitutes a good relationship. That's great if it works for you, but it doesn't for everyone, and I take exception when you use hate-talk about views that differ from your own. I guess you can justify your own bad behavior, though.

I find this post incredibly obtuse. An agreement to be monogamous is NOT like any other agreement. Unlike business agreements, it involves feelings. In a normal legal agreement, you can ask the other party if the would be willing to revise it, and the worst that's likely to happen is they'll say no and the business relationship will continue as it was before. With this issue, however, just saying you'd like to change it will damage/end a marriage/relationship that both parties may value very much. There's a big difference, and to pretend otherwise it itself highly dishonest.

If that is the case, then I think that is really sad and indicative of a pretty shallow, brittle relationship.

Why is there some sort of right to be in a relationship with people who behave they way you want them to anyway?
