The biggest problem with poly, and really any other weird fetish, is that they get so used to their little circle of the internet telling them what their doing is right and normal/should be normal that they can't wrap their head around the idea that normal people in the real world don't go around talking about what get them off 24/7. But instead of taking a step back and thinking hey maybe my coworkers and family don't want to hear about my 3 boyfriend and 2 girlfriends, they think

I have a friend who is poly and ticks a lot of the stereotypes (fat, bi, constantly says it's not a kink, reposts Facebook articles on how it should be more "accepted", etc.) and she simply couldn't understand why her brother got extremely pissed off when she brought her boyfriend AND her fiance to her family Thanksgiving dinner.

Meanwhile, her fiance now lives halfway across the country and got involved with a woman at the women's prison he works for. But they're totally still together.

I wonder if any people who were poly at first, have any regrets.

Probably the ones who open the relationship because they want to sleep around but then their partner ends up getting some while they can't find anyone else. It's quite funny to watch it blow up in their faces. Even funnier being on the receiving end of their sperging because you know it's from the place of "this didn't turn out how I wanted it to"

Yep, and since they added more people into the relationship, it's gonna backfire on them.

Reading that large wall of text, all I could picture behind the keyboard was a sad person with a Stepford wife like grin going "Being poly is great, it's so great. I could never go back, not ever ever ever." They're trying so hard to convince themselves that it's right and everyone else is wrong. If they really felt that way they wouldn't need to talk about it all the time.

A woman who knew first-hand the shitty consequences of being Poly denied a Poly couple to live in her place. They proceed to talk about how denying people who might have potentially dangerous social lives that could cause problems for the owner of the establishment is the same as not letting Jews live there.

This woman's family fell apart because her ex partner couldn't keep his wang to himself. Or at least, put it around very discreetly. No no, he had to make a total fucking autistic narcissistic soap opera of it and drag her into it by making it all about a 'lifestyle' and 'prejudices' reeee.

To make ends meet, she has to take in another housemate. She and the kid have had upheaval as a result of the father being a twat, so she is lookimg for someone vaguely normal, you know, TO LIVE IN THE HOME OF HER CHILD.

This absolute fucktard rocks up and reeees at her about how he can't keep his wang to himself either and how he also believes its MUH LIFESTYLE rather than thinking with his boner.

Woman has had enough of shitty wang drama to last a lifetime, let alome have a trail of nuts, sexually disinhibited, and emotionally damaged strangers drama'ing in THE HOME OF HER CHILD.

So she doesn't rent to him.

Somehow, this woman is in the wrong. Well played, sexual lifestylers. Well played.

The thing that I've notice with these poly types is with the way they misuse the word jealousy to dismiss a person's misery. It's basically their way of saying that if their partner is feeling neglected/used/disappointed, it's not the fault of the one who's being a selfish whore, but an emotional failure of the one who's treated like a 5th wheel in the relationship. Same with "insecure", "controlling", "patriarchy" etc.

"My wife did this thing with another person that I've always wanted to do with her because she is, you know, important to me. But she never wanted to do that with me. I'm hurt." - "You're just jealous."

" My husband just moved in with his girlfriend, and now I feel lonely and unloved." - "You're just insecure"

It's almost like meaningful intimacy is actually part of a romantic bond or something crazy like that. Who knew?
