Yes they do have a right, but just because you can do something does not make it a good idea. And I believe unless you have statistics you probably have just as much of an assumption as I do on the success of polyamorous relationships.

Yes dysfunction has always existed. There is no doubt. But it has been shown that this dysfunction is snowballing and becoming a greater problem. Most of it due to us acting on impulse, urge, and desire rather than necessity. There are many examples of that especially in American society.

I appreciate your viewpoints. However, I've learned in my time on forums that there are times when people will just have to agree to disagree. Particularly, I disagree with the notion that there is a higher rate of dysfunction now than in the past. There is simply different dysfunction.
