March 30 Friends With Exes: Green Flag Or Red Flag?

March 23 Are Humans Naturally Monogamous?
Do you think humans are biologically wired for one partner? Or have we been socially conditioned into monogamy? We deep dive into the science and history of human relationships to figure out whether pairing with one person for life is our natural state of being, or if we’re actually biologically predisposed to be non-monogamous.
SHOW NOTES:
