No yeah, you got a point there.
It really isn't self explanatory. For some long term means life, for others it's like 10+ years and others 20+ years. Most relationships aren't for life but many can be for long term and even then what breaks those relationships are often the same thing that breaks monogamous relationships. Failure to meet needs, failure to align values, failures of expectations.
So... what you mean when you say
"Youre never going to have the relationship with one person that youll have with, lets say, five others."
Id flip that on its head. Youll never have a relationship with five people that you could exclusively have with one. Its like butter being spread too thin.
