Neil Strauss emphasizes that personal health and self‑security are the prerequisite for any successful relationship, whether monogamous, open, or polyamorous. He observes that cheating and betrayal occur across all relationship models, noting that many open and polyamorous couples still cheat despite having rules like protection and honesty. Strauss points out that while some non‑monogamous relationships are thriving, the same patterns of infidelity appear in monogamous ones. His core advice is that cultivating self‑health and security enables any type of relationship to function well.

So I found that a lot of cheating happens the same almost in all relationships across the board. Yeah, there's. Yeah, there's still cheating or betrayal.
