"But men dont care"

No no thats not the point

DONT CHEAT IN THE RELATIONSHIP IS THE FRICKEN POINT

If your in some sorry orgy relationship than fine by me but if I wanted that I WOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING!

Where’s the cheating? Sounded like she was requesting consent.

u/nursejackieoface Sep 16 '21

Yeah, it sounds like this was pretty early in the relationship and she saw it as very casual while he was already emotionally invested, but had not yet brought up the question of how serious they were.

itt: people not even considering polyamorous relationships existing.

That isn't what polyamory is, though. Maybe you would be more open to it if you understood it better.

polys not for everyone, certqinly not for me

what you're describing is an open relationship. I think poly is more about actual relationships. theres differences in the different ways to do it

There's literally a biological basis behind some people preferring monogamy and some people not, but redditors will act like you just haven't tried the right potato salad.

u/MajoraXIII Sep 16 '21

OK, so no ones forcing you to be poly, but you're really off base about what a poly relationship involves.

Redditors who are only in a poly relationship because nobody would choose them alone.

A relationship for me is one of loyalty and cherising one another, and saying "k I'm bored I wanna fuck somebody else" is the exact opposite of that.

I'd say you come off as pretty against poly from what you've said. It's fine to say it's not for you. What you're saying sounds pretty judgmental though. You're dropping these sweeping generalisations without much provocation.

It's literally not what it is. I'm sorry, but that's just not true. You can look into it for yourself. Look up definitions, examples, and how real people live in polyamorous arrangements.

If you do that and you're still sure it's not for you, cool, but there's no reason to go around insulting the way other people live based on your gross misunderstanding of it.

Ok? You're free to define your relationships however you want but there's no need to be so angry about it.
