OP needs a new friend group, no amount of help on reddit will burn that cancer away
 
Why not give everyone fake names? Michael, Alice, and Emma. Done.

One of my friends, someone who I used to consider my best friend, is now in some sort of three-way polyamorous lesbian/non-binary relationship. Really don't know how to feel about that. She came out as nonbinary a few years ago and yes, she is severely mentally ill (had to go to therapeutic boarding school for a while, was forced by the state to live in state care three nights a week, couldn't even graduate from a therapeutic high school). I don't know. Feel bad for her younger brother, because I'm sure ma and pa are pinning all their hopes for a normal kid on them because their other daughter is also exceptional in the 'not all there' sense.
 

OP is kinda a jerk - they got into a Triad because woo double pussy, then gets bothered when they make excuses to get out of the situation - and one of them clearly just wants a normal relationship with them. But he's all like "wow that's so unfair - just for that I'm gonna go bone M like you always feared!"

I mean that's just so classy and loving - who wouldn't want to deal with peer pressure for going against the group in their relationship?

Hopefully E realises this guy is fools gold and gets out of there
 
What's the story morning glory?

Hoo boy, it's a doozy. This was back in early high school. Lots of exceptionalism. Names have been changed, but everything else is exactly how it went down.

So I was friends with a girl named Alex for several years, and she met a guy she liked our sophomore year. She insisted I had to meet him, since we were "besties" and all, so I did. Something about him gave me the heebie jeebies, but I did the whole "don't judge a book by its cover" thing and gave him half a chance of being friends. Side note: he looked like a goat. Like he had the human face equivalent of a goat face. He was aware of this and quite proud. Also stereotypical emo kid with Tripps and everything.
So Alex and I hang out with him a bit and I find out he's been "courting" (his words) a girl named Kirstin while simultaneously fucking a girl named Eve, his female best friend who had a crush on him for a couple of years. Kirstin is super uncomfortable with his relationship with Eve for obvious reasons, since he refuses to go official with her until her dad gives him the okay. Alex is telling me that it's all fine, because he's poly, and she's also poly and bi, so she's going to be dating him, Kirstin, and Eve. Um, no.
This is where things get freaky. He starts claiming that he's half vampire and also the son of Beelzebub, high ranking demon from hell, and Alex, Eve, and Kirstin are all predestined to be his wives harem-style. Their souls are bound to his for their own safety and wellbeing, thus they should all be okay with him sticking his dick in each of them and more. On top of that, if they weren't okay and tried to leave, then their souls would be claimed and destroyed by other demons because reasons. Alex ate this stuff up and insisted that she and Goatdude were soulmates or twin flames or whatever the newage-y spiritualists call it these days, and that they had to be together or a demon living inside her head would kill her on her 16th birthday.
He then tries to drag me in on this, since Alex is definitely not his physical type and I'm closer to it (I assume, based on the appearances of Kirstin and Eve) and I was in an emotionally vulnerable place. Teen angst and shit. Same spiel, my soul belongs to him so I should worship him, whatever. Proceeds to punch me in the face for not giving him a beej. Punch him back. End of my involvement in the cult. Alex then tells me, two months after the punch, that she "just can't be friends" with me anymore. Whatever.
After a year or so, Eve and I sit down and catch up over some school project. She tells me that Kirstin jumped ship not long after I did, since Kirstin isn't into sharing and found out he was still sticking his dick in Eve behind her back. Eve then became the primary girlfriend, though had a similar situation with Alex. Eve thought she and Goatdude were monogamous, as he told her not to worry and he wasn't into Alex that way. He was telling Alex that they were a poly triad, so she constantly made art about how "in love" with both of them she was. After a year of dating, Eve dumped him because she realized she deserved better than that shit.
Alex reached out to me a year and a half ago and filled in some more blanks. Apparently, after Eve left, Goatdude finally started boning her and they were basically monogamous. They were/are engaged and briefly lived together, but had to stop because the neighbors called the cops on them too many times for domestic violence, which she vehemently denies ever happening. She moved back home and was forced into therapy by her dad, where she was diagnosed with a smattering of mental health disorders that contributed to her very sideways beliefs. I don't know how much of that newage bullshit she still believes in, but it sounds like she's getting help now.

Edit: As a side note, I have a friend who also ran into a guy that believed he was a vampire demon prince and tried to start a cult in high school, but it wasn't the same guy as the one in my story. There's something in the water in our hometown, I swear.
 
This thread reminded me of a guy I knew years ago...

I used to work with a guy who was 'poly'. He and his 'wife' (they weren't married but he called her his wife) were both bisexual. They were also two of the grossest people I've ever met. He looked like a live action version of Cletis the slack-jawed yokel and she wore men's clothes all the time that were at least 2 sizes too big for her and had a bowl haircut. And they both had greasy hair and smelled like week old jizz.

Like many of these types, everyone knew about their sex lives because they wouldn't shut up about it. He would tell any of his coworkers who would listen about his and his 'wife's exploits, who they were banging right now, and both of them would constantly hit on people trying to get them into the sack. They had huge jealousy issues and fought a lot. We had to ban her from the store eventually because she would come up to him at work and yell and curse at him, often in front of customers.

The rule in their relationship was he could fuck other guys without her but if he wanted to fuck a woman she had to be involved too. As you can probably guess, he broke this rule quite a few times. He apparently was ok with her fucking other women but not men. She also broke this rule quite a lot. I remember a particular incident where she sucked off a guy old enough to be her father for jewelry. Near the time his employment ended, they had a mutual live-in girlfriend. Shortly before he quit (well stopped showing up) , he told me that the girl had left them and was now accusing them of drugging her and keeping her as a sex slave. Now that's a heavy accusation that I normally wouldn't give a ton of merit to, but...this dude was seriously creepy. Not just because he was Cletis the Slack-jawed Sex Pest, but he had a HUGE misogynistic streak and if he heard any story about a woman claiming to be raped he would go on a rant about how the woman was probably lying. It definitely made you wonder.

Oh, and he never used condoms, ever. He said he believed birth control was against God's will. I can only imagine what kind of diseases he may have had. Oh, and he had 13 kids, by various women due to the whole 'no birth control' thing (he was 29 at the time I knew him). He had 5 or so with his 'wife' that had all been taken away by the state. She was pregnant again when they disappeared and as he had mentioned that the state would take the baby at birth it's my guess they fled to keep that from happening because I never saw them around town after that.

They're the only RL experience I have with poly people, and needless to say it wasn't a positive one.
 
Used to be in a triad for about 2 years. Was alright, I was into a guy who had a BF so he and I sort of "dated" and we'd get along really well and everything but I just grew out of it. Realized it wasn't fulfilling and I realized they both have massive issues that really turned me off towards the end. Something about an older partner who acts like an emotionally stunted manchild really doesn't ignite that spark.

Gays can do the whole open relationship/poly shtick *marginally* easier than straights, I think, and I've met a few groups that genuinely made the shit work, but I think it's mostly just people wanting to get their fuck on and trying to force a connection when it's only superficial at best. Oh well, ya live and learn.

Sorry for the :powerlevel::islamic:
 
This is via my poly friend on Facebook, and all of it just sounds like a ticking time bomb.

AKA: Give me dysfunctional relationships that will end up burning every person in said relationship and fucking up any children born into it.

I mean, funny, you never see poly people celebrating diamond wedding anniversaries for some odd reason. It's almost like marriage at it's core is work enough for two people to navigate and adding in others is a recipe for massive disaster.

You know, this post makes a good argument why poly people shouldn't have kids. These people certainly shouldn't.
 
There's a lot she's not saying here, and that's telling.

What's up with poly people (and also kinky people, for which there seems to be a large overlap) always saying 'playing' instead of 'having sex with' or 'hooking up with' or whatever? I see this with bisexual women talking about women a lot, which makes me wonder how they view lesbian sex, but guys do it do (also usually talking about women, but that could be because there's not a lot of out bi poly guys on r/polyamory). I don't care for it.

It's simple, they have a weak sense of commitment and very little respect for their love/sex partners. It shouldn't be surprising that they use 'play' instead of 'having sex' when they also treat their partners as toys. Most poly bi women seem to be really fucking confused about their sexuality. If their discussions about sex are anything to go by, majority of them are only able to enjoy lesbian sex if it pleases their male partner, this also seems to be the only reason to identify as bi for many of them.

There seem to be a lot of bi women in relationships with men love to churn out awful articles about how 'queer' they are, how they should be able to make out with their hubbies at gay bars without people getting mad, etc., etc., and poly bi women are worse, since it's less hypothetical. The way they and their husbands treat their 'unicorn' is rarely good (and usually the 'unicorn' is another poly bi woman, so it's a constant circle of exploitation).

And, as usual, there's a huge lack of poly bi guys even though statistically, women are only slightly more likely to be bi than men.

There is some truth to all stereotypes. Bi/poly activists are very quick to screech about biphobia/bi erasure/polyphobia/fsdfsdfphobia whenever someone points out all these things to them, but what they usually forget is that a quick scroll through any bi/poly forum will confirm every single one these points. Every 5th thread is about some failed triangle, how they don't understand why their gay boyfriends/girlfriends don't like it when they flirt with men/women or how they aren't satisfied with their relationships because they miss cock/meow (and many other crazy drama concoctions that can only be a result of a person sitting on two chairs). I do not believe that all bi people are sluts who can never be satisfied, but there is a large enough number to justify double consideration when it comes to dating bi folks. And as you said, bi polys are even worse. They are often outright homophobic and will even try to guilt trip lesbian "unicorns" into fucking their boyfriends, which is just disgusting (see the OP in the thread). Their exploitation of vulnerable bi women who fall for this shit is even more repugnant. The reason why kweer "community" is pushing the acceptance of this clusterfuck is still a huge mystery to me, considering how it evidently goes against everything the community (well, what preceded it) fought against.

Well, thirty or forty years ago, you were only out if you couldn't be in. Now bisexuals in straight relationships can be loud about it without much repercussions, and there's more of them than there are gay people.

They're not really accepted--if they were they would stop whining about it.
 
why can't they just cheat like normal people


Because they're too self obsessed to not try and rationalize their selfish behavior as either a scenario wherein they are a put upon victim of society's brutism moral behavior or they want to say they're just far too advanced intellectually to be held to the same standard as everyone else. These are people who need to rationalize everything as them being superior for having done it.

Most poly couples dont start that way, one just gets sick of the other, cheats, comes clean about it because they're "too ethically/mentally superior to be secretive in their indiscretions (in reality because they don't want to feel guilty so immediately blabbing it to their spouse releases them of that guilt and replaces it with smug self satisfaction). They then brow beat the person who was cheated on in to feeling guilty for keeping them tied down and they go in to a poly relationship where they fuck their gross coworkers and ignore their spouse as anything but an extra source of income. Eventually the other half (almost always the guy) will try to bang some chick and the initiator of the relationship will guilt them in to not doing it because they're normally hyper insecure realizing if the guy can get pussy elsewhere, he'll be able to realize he doesn't want to be a cuck.

The resentment boils, a messy, embarrassing divorce happens and my buddy who practices family law tells me another hilarious and predictable divorce story
