Disturbingly, mutually-understood monogamy is less likely in couples with children than those without. Since the type of birth control used tends to shift over the course of a relationship, many women are at increased risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection if condom use is discontinued.
Silly of me to assume that if you’re planning to be tied to a child with someone for a lifetime, you’ve ended outside entanglements for the duration of your romantic relationship with your co-parent.
Update: A Daily Dish reader debunked the study, pointing out that the subjects were all selected because they self-identified as being part of a high risk or potentially non-monogamous relationship.
