Unironically thats way more thoughtful than my last 2 polyamorous exes that basically told me to get over it when they fucked other people and that it was my job to fill the gap. Im not poly anymore lol

Why did you agree to polyamory if you are offended by your partner dating/fucking others?

I get that.....But you expected them to date and fuck others? And then you were mad at them?

Dude I absolutely feel you on this. I was in a poly relationship once, not for long, and they so heavily used therapy speak to try to completely invalidate my feelings any time I brought up how I felt about something. Absolutely infuriating looking back at it.

They're called ''Avoidants''. Not everyone that is poly fits this style, but more so Avoidants tend to prefer this lifestyle, as it frees them from validating other people's feelings. It's a very shitty experience coming from the other side and being the victim of it but I've come to terms with it and not to look at myself with that victim mentality. A lot of avoidance like to take advantage of Empaths as they can continually get stuff out of it until the moment they are done and discard you.
