What a wonderful point you raise! How do you know that you are mongamous if you have had the opertunity/freedom/whatever to be something other? I think this is a real problem for those people that get married then divorces, then married then divorced and so on. I always wonder when i meet someone that is "on thier 4th marriage" ( i met one that was on thier 12th marriage!)
As for polyandry (multiple husbands) it is less popular these days, but there is evidence to suggest that it was very popular in the past. If you live in a hunter/warrior culture, is it not better to have multiple husbands so that you get more food? and if one dies, you and your kids wont starve...
Anyhoo...
