The Evolution of Relationship Structures
Monogamy became the default. Attachment styles became the operating system. This is the full map — every relationship structure, how it works, and who it actually fits.
Your relationship model isn't biology—it's technology. And like all technology, it was built for problems that may no longer exist.
Every culture that's ever existed has experimented with relationship structures. The nuclear family is about 70 years old. Lifelong monogamy as a romantic ideal is even younger. What feels like "the natural way" is usually "the way it's been since I was a kid."
This series explores the full taxonomy of how humans organize love, sex, and partnership—from monogamy's origins to polyamory's logistics to relationship anarchy's philosophy. No moralizing. Just mechanics.
