I agree with both of you in different ways.
You will NEVER love two people exactly the same, this does not however mean that you love one person more then you love another person. This applies to any relationship in life whether it be to parents, children, pets, friends or partners.
Monogamy is not an instictive thing, many cultures around the world have supported multiple wives or harems. Instinctually you want to spread your genetic material comingled with that of an individual whose genetic code this will provide beneficial aspects to your offspring. This has nothing to do with selecting one singular partner.
It's true the majority of us may not be able to support an ploy relationship. How much of this is because we were brought up to believe in monogamy though? If you had been raised in an environment where everyone around you was in multiple relationships that to you would be the norm, you would not expect to have one partner devoted to you, when you reached marriagable age you would most likely find multiple partners.
I doubt that I could ever accpe being in a polymorous relationship but I respect the decision of those who choose this lifestyle. I personally know peope who are happy living this way and as my friends all I care about is their happiness not whose in bed with who at night.
