Monogamous.

Some say it's not easy to keep. I say it is. Nothing will ever stop "eye candy". There will be sights that arouse or catch certain attentions. Unless a person locks themselves up and never goes outdoors in public, there isn't any way to stop it. It's primarily fleeting at best any way.

Etiquette and respect seem to be more lost standards. The respect is knowing what you have and keeping in touch about what's going on with and with out each other. That doesn't mean stay glued to a damn phone. It means if something changes; either make the detour to let them know or pick up the phone and use it for something sensible instead of a life line.

The etiquette is having the respect for your other half, to not put or allow yourself open for bad situations to cause suspicions or other problems.

While i agree with many of the arguments supporting polyamory (when done in an open and honest way), i still also believe that monogamy is another choice. It's a personal decision.

what i do know...
is that if one is in a primary relationship, they have a choice. put their energy into that relationship, or put their energy outside of the relationship. if one no longer wants to put energy into their primary relationship, perhaps the answer is not polyamory...perhaps the answer is to leave. dunno....
and...

I don't think it was ever truly meant as a choice. People have chosen one or both at times depending on their "moods" and/or situations.

Even in much younger years when I focused on one person, the house hold, the commitments; I couldn't see where a person had time for others.

I've seen some of the commentaries and documentations of the polygamous situations and families. Even in the smaller ones, you could see a certain tension in some areas of the "home" waiting to explode.

Here, the way the topic is posed; I'm am taking for granted that it isn't any thing to do with cheating but an open, chosen, arrangement.

Do you mean not a choice, or not a choice for you personally?
i think that’s why i chose to say polyamory as it suggests more of a choice to me than some one growing up in bountiful (BC), or raised in a polygamous environment.
Historically, across many cultures, one is able to find examples of many types of relationships that are working, which suggests to me that folks are making choices.

What i think is important, is that relationships remain honest and open, so all involved can make their own informed choice.

Monogamous or Polygamous
Monogamy is more a practical societal solution. For men it was to ensure their offspring and heirs were theirs.
For women it ensured that there was a provider and stability. for their offspring.

But poly is probably the most natural for all animals. Just not as societally acceptable.

Definitely "Nogamus". By lurking at CS I became a misogynist.
But if I hit megabuck, I don't mind having 365 concubines.
