And how would being related distantly without knowing it affect instinct? if you dont know of any relationship, then it shouldnt really matter. Unless you're somehow implying that instinct makes you psychic.

Popping in to answer this part.
There are many reasons for a monogamous relationship being the norm. Western society as a whole developed into this standard due to the fact that it's simply more convenient in most populations where M:F ratio is close to equal. The reasons for it staying that way are many: social stigma, ostrascization, the fact that polygamy is illegal in many countries, shame, upbringing etc.
Explaining it all away in the name of love is frankly, oversimplifying,
