So, do you remember why you thought of poly relationships as so disgusting and horrific? I can understand not thinking they would work for you, but why the intense revulsion?
they don’t present some life-altering crisis every time you realize you’re really really attracted to someone else.
While I agree with you that polyamory is a great approach and works well for a lot of people, I’m not sure this is an accurate description of monogamy: most monogamous people find themselves really attracted to others at times, and just decide not to act on it (as poly people might do sometimes also, for other reasons).

...or decide to act on it in various ways that don’t involve getting involved in a romantic or sexual relationship with those others.
