you can find the proof for yourself. do a little research on anthropology

You hade mave a bold claim. Therefore, it would be beneficial to support it. Otherwise it's just hot air.

also see the high prevalence of cheating across romantic relationships

I suppose there is also a high prevalence of loyal behaviour across romantic relationships. But even if not, you are making to mistakes here imo:

  1. Prevalence of something does not necessarily constitute "natural" behaviour. Depending on the specific numbers of this prevalence and how specifically it is defined. Especially, given that many things in biology are of rather statistical nature.
  2. You are using that as an argument to justify moral behaviour. Even if it were true (which you refused to provide proof for so far), just because something is natural, it is not necessarily "good". See also: Appeal to nature

or maybe you prefer to ignore that because its inconvenient to your position

No, to the contrary. I am always open for good and factually based arguments. It's never wrong to correct one's stance given better information. So, feel invited to share your knowledge.

just because you personally are fine with your personal monogamous situation doesnt mean that humans are naturally monogamous

Correct. And my argument was based on rather anectodal evidence. However, given that I find that not only in my relationship, but also in others, suggests that humans are possibly not as easy to shove into a single drawer with regard to monogamy. But I didn't so the deep dive and do not hade the numbers. However, since I do not experience this as a rarity, this provides ground for contradicting your claim.
