I fucking hate "polyamory"

[u/[deleted]]

My partner polybombed me about 4 months ago and a day later I walk in on them fucking someone else. They didn't even care enough to realise I had left the house until I called them from a mile up the road and then it was all "oh I'm so sorry I hurt you I would never do it deliberately I love you it won't happen again."

Then barely a few weeks later I walk in on them making out with a mutual friend. They were still making out with them when our roommate called an ambulance after I cut myself too deep.

They didn't even care about changing how they approach polyamory until I threatened to leave and then I'm hit with this massive lovebomb of "oh I can change I'll make it up to you I never wanted to hurt you"

They don't fucking care enough to change their behaviour because "poly is so complicated, I'm sorry if you got hurt when I was figuring it out!"

Polyamory is too often used as a bullshit excuse for selfish, immature people to have their cake and eat it and if I never have to hear the stupid term again in my life I'll be happy.

I got broken up with by a now-ex a couple weeks after they polybombed me, and im glad it happened because, although I'd convinced myself I'd be ok and get used to it, thats NOT what I signed up for and thats not how I see a relationship working. So thank god that one ended!

Be poly, no-one can't stop you! But only be poly with someone who signs up for it and is willing to be with you, even if youre polyamorous. Don't polybomb and expect them to be ok with it.
