I had a brief moment of panic when I saw an "outline" of the plot for gentleman Jole on wikipedia because there was a whole menage a trois storyline which feels so wrong for Aral and Cordelia. Then I saw someone had fixed it to directly quote you. I feel like the answer is yes, but were Cordelia and Aral monagamous throughout thier relationship?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Too early for spoilers, I think, but it is certainly the case that we saw the later Aral and Cordelia mainly through Miles's eyes, which is a peculiarly restricted frame. I can say that Cordelia and Aral loved each other without reserve until death parted them.
Also, don't forget that Cordelia is Betan. Betan /= 21st. C. Middle American, despite her accent. Technology, as usual, creates the ambit of the possible, in culture as in so much else.
So much else, but you'll have to wait for the book for that.
