That just sounds so boring and scary. I am 30 and the thought of being with the same person for the rest of my life sounds scary. To be honest I would most likely cheat in that situation.
Having been in that situation, I may be able to offer some insight.
In my early thirties I was, let's say "very friendly with the ladies." I simply could not imagine being monogamous, and couldn't understand why anyone would want to be.
Then I met the woman who became my wife and I almost immediately didn't want any other woman. I don't mean that I came to accept that I wouldn't have any others, or anything like that. I mean that I simply didn't want anyone else. Other women became like abstract beings: attractive, but I was content to view them from afar. There was only one particular woman I actually wanted to make physical contact with.
I know that may sound kind of weird and new-agey, but it was literally like a switch flipping to another position, and almost 18 years later, it's never flipped back. My wife can be a royal pain in the ass sometimes, but my life would be lacking something critical without her, specifically, in it.
