monogamous both emotionally and physically for an adult lifetime? I tend to think not.

I think the question is mostly regarding the emotional side of it. It is human nature to desire more than what we have even though we may not act upon it physically. We are, after all, animals with just a bit of civility- some more than others!

It's very difficult and that's been true throughout human existance. I think it is a bit harder today - both genders have much more opportunity for fooling around than in the past, and we're far more "sexualized" than in the past. I can remember forty years ago as I was entering my twenties, young women just didn't look anywhere near as appealing as they do now. It has nothing to do with my age - they dress better, they keep themselves in better physical shape, and they're more outwardly confident (and a great many folks don't grasp how appealing that aura of self-confidence is). Plus, pre-marital and extra-marital sexual relations aren't nearly as frowned upon as when I was a young warthog! So yeh - I agree with ya. But it's still possible to "do the right thing" - and I think, still important to do so.

I think it depends on the individual. Some people are very capable of monogamy; others shouldn't even think TRYING.
I don't think though that there is a married person alive that hasn't at least thought about a divorce or an affair. It takes a strong person to remain monogamous, but it can be done.

I believe that you can. If I didn't, I wouldn't even try to be in a relationship. I couldn't be in the relationship and wait for someone to cheat on me emotionally or physically.

Uh, yes. If you found the one person that you truly love enough to marry and really take your marriage vows seriously, then yes, it's very possible.
If you don't care enough to take marriage seriously, then no, you shouldn't get married.

Yes. You might change your mind when you find the right partner and are mature enough.

I haven't had a whole life yet...but my parents managed it for 58 years, until my father's death.
so I'd say yes...

It's possible, but it's a lot of work.
