r/polyamory

I feel like I've read this story several times before. let's see:
-Couple becomes poly even though one person obviously doesn't want to. The partner who wants it graciously allows the other person to pursue outside relationships, likely knowing they're not really interested.
-Partner who isn't into it goes all in to please the other partner anyway, brings dates to them, reads "the literature", encourages them
-Partner who isn't into it falls into depression and anxiety and blames themselves. Other partner too busy fucking other people to care
-Partner who isn't into it blames themselves further and says other partner deserves better even though other partner sounds like a shithead

Your husband trying to fuck other women constantly is just a little "yellow flag", nbd
 
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Poly relationships. The love is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical psychiatry most of the bonds will go over a typical mono’s head. There's also A poly’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into their behaviour- their personal philosophy draws heavily from porn, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these relationships, to realise that they're not just fucking- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Polymory truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the enjoyment in Poly’s existential catchphrase "What about my metamours," which itself is a cryptic reference to Bethany Kurrus' Kimchi Cuddles. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as they read r/polymory. What fools.. how I pity them.
 
You know, for a group of people so insistent that clear lines you don't cross are the key to a successful orgy--er, polyclusterf--(screw it) adultery cult, they are incredibly critical of those who have clear lines you don't cross.
So what you are saying is that this poly shit will fuck people over harder then swinging. WHO COULD HAVE FUCKING GUESSED.

The line between poly and swinging can be pretty blurry at times, but from what I know swinging doesn't fuck up your relationships the way polyamory does. Swingers are basically what most polys claim to be: people out having recreational sex with others while still keeping their spouse/significant other. I think the main differences boil down to the mentality and the rules. The swinging community is heavily codified and couples who indulge in it have rules they actually stick to, and there's (usually) a lot less hypocrisy involved than what we've seen with polys, everyone knows what they're here for. Unlike polys they're not here to prove their superiority over those uneducated monos.

Polys on the other hand are a lawless clusterfuck of fat dangerhairs and anxiety-riddled speds out to show the world how their neurodivergent queer lifestyle is so much better than the common masses'. Nearly every post shown in this thread reveals relationships with shaky trust (at best) where one is always trying to cheat on the other while hiding behind pretty labels, often guilt-tripping the other into consenting. It's a deeply unhealthy environment and imo it can be chalked up to the fact that most polys are either clueless cucks starving for affection or lazy slobs unwilling to put even a modicum of effort into their relationships, hence the trainwrecks.
