Edward O. Wilson, the famous naturalist who wrote Sociobiology, is said to have died today at 92.

In order to withstand the onslaught of his Harvard Biology department colleague Stephen Jay Gould, Edward O. Wilson taught himself in the mid-1970s how to write like a literary intellectual. He immediately won a Pulitzer Prize for On Human Nature.

E.O. Wilson’s whole life was like that. As Bill & Ted would say: Triumphant.

Homosexual relationships are inherently unstable and even the plurality (meaning < 50%) that start out as monogamous usually convert to "open relationships" as the years go by due to boredom, lack of emotional fulfillment, etc.
