Too true. I think it's known as the "seven year itch." Seven years after having their first child, women get the urge to mate with another male, to attempt to spread their gene's.

So yes, human's are biologically not meant to be monogamus, but through the ages we have invented such things as "commitment" and "self control" and "love".
