Non-consensual monogamy, where one partner enforces exclusivity without mutual agreement, rarely works long-term. Relationships thrive on trust, communication, and shared expectations. If one partner feels coerced into monogamy, it can breed resentment, mistrust, or rebellion, undermining emotional intimacy and stability. Studies, like those from the Journal of Marriage and Family (2020), show that mutual commitment and clear boundaries correlate with higher relationship satisfaction. Non-consensual setups often lead to conflict or infidelity, as the imposed partner may feel trapped or unvalued.
