That's sort of what I was getting at, though I didn't spell it out fully. That is, if I really really loved someone I'd possibly be willing to try having a mono relationship in hopes that I would find myself content with it--but if I didn't find that I was happy that way, I would not stick with it.
As for the desire to be with just one person arising spontaneously, though, without anyone ever having requested it...well, I'll admit the possibility as an outside chance, but it just doesn't seem likely. Polyamory, after all, isn't (for me) about specifically wanting to be with more than one person; it's about wanting to let each individual relationship go wherever feels natural, and it's hard to imagine that I would ever stop wanting that. It's conceivable that the number of people I happened to want to be intimate with at a given time might at some point be as low as 1, but that would owe more to outside circumstances than inward motivation, most likely, and there's no reason to think it would be a permanent state.
