It's a biological imperative that makes you intentionally delusional.

Do understand exactly what delusions it creates (that the other person is perfect, is the only one good enough, that you couldn't live without them) and accept or reject them as necessary. In particular don't change yourself or give up other things in your life in the name of love.

Humans can be monogamous but it requires work and trust, because the easy thing is to stop when the obsessive part of love fades.
