I found the blonde girl's reddit account. Hoo boy.

The tl;dr is her life is a disaster.

1. She has bipolar disorder, and so does dad. Mom is a minister.
She has some major daddy issues:
My dad didn't want me. He said he couldn't love me when I was born. He was always so much more interested in my older brother. I always felt really unloved and worthless and had no idea why until I was 17 and my mom told me after I helped her throw him out.

Her parents divorced when she was 3 because dad was off his meds; they remarried when she was 15.
Also, her dad tried to kill her as a toddler.

2. Like @Potatis Salad said, she's having a hard time being a mom.
I wish I could say "I love W, but I get why animals eat their young".

3. The guy is from Celina, OH, which is an even shittier town than Grand Haven: per capita income is 18k.
4. She was non-monogamous before meeting brown haired girl: she and the guy were previously dating another girl, and she had a guy cheat on her in an open relationship (he didn't follow the rules). She was also in a triad previously with a different girl and guy, and the girl was married (not to the guy) and had a child.
5. She used to be a Skype dominatrix.

6. She's a mess:
I was 17, drunk in a bathtub in Cincinnati. I wanted to die, but I was so drunk I had forgotten the thing I was going to kill myself with. I had no money and no one who gave a shit. I was failing the classes I worked so hard to get into. I stayed 6 days in the psycho hospital, had to drop two classes, and ended up on academic probation. Was a boarderline alcoholic for about a year and a half. Then I got serious with my boyfriend (now husband) and got pregnant with my son.

She was in the hospital for having a psychotic break.

8. She got pregnant at 17 to a 26 year old and miscarried. She says she miscarried for 'various reasons', but I am wondering if drugs were involved. She said the alcoholism and not caring about the cheating happened due to the miscarriage. She also had a miscarriage in 2014, when she was, I think, 15. She got pregnant with the baby that actually exists 'cause they were using the pull out method and the rhythm method.

10. She started self harming at 11, and was self-medicating with alcohol and pills at 14.

12. She considers herself 'pansexual' and 'agender'.

I've also had classmates in HS that looked like they could be somebody's creepy aunt/uncle. Autism does that to you.

God. I might mock polyamory as an ideology, I might laugh at the cucks and weirdos, but these people are so fucking broken, to the extent that you can see the damage in their faces. Sometimes this shit switches from darkly funny to just fucking dark.

The people who criticize kiwifarms are partially right, reading about other people's grotesque dysfunction does actually make people feel better about themselves. Watching strangers flail and struggle and tragicomically fall on their own faces time after time, only to pick themselves up so the cycle can repeat.

If you've been following Null's coverage of Mumkey, you've probably noticed that Null is rooting for the guy, and despite laughing at Mumkey's misfortune also wants to see him unfuck his own mind. Well I'm rooting for this moon-faced polyamorous addict and I hope she fucking finds a way to live a life of health and happiness.
 
Not from reddit directly, but as long as we're talking about those broken people: it turns out the Dayton shooter might have gone nuts after leaving a polyamorous relationship.

My Ex-Boyfriend was the Dayton Shooter

This is not an excuse for Connor Betts. This is just the Connor that I knew.
medium.com medium.com

Starting in the March 2019 section:

Connor and I kept our relationship on the down-low due to the polyamorous nature of it. I was engaged to another man while dating Connor, and all parties involved knew about the situation. Everything was consensual, even if it was a bit of an adjustment. Connor didn’t know that when I first asked him out for coffee, though. He didn’t drink coffee, so we went out for drinks that night instead.

...He was a perfect gentleman throughout our relationship. He never pushed me to do things I didn’t want to do. His biggest concern was that I was comfortable. Polyamory is confusing for everyone involved, but luckily he and my fiance at the time were both understanding and consenting.

"Polyamory is confusing for everyone involved", you say? What an understatement. Maybe they should have sought relationship advice from r/polyamory. Too late now.

But hey, as long as everyone is so understanding and consenting, it's fine, right? Surely every poly relationship doesn't end in emotional upheaval and disaster.

I knew then that I had to break things off with him, but I waited a few days to cool off. I wanted to wait until my fiance got back from a work trip, but then Connor started asking inappropriate questions. He texted me to ask how often my fiance and I had sex, to which I told him I wasn’t comfortable responding. Then he asked if I ever thought about killing myself. Now, we had spoken about suicide before. He knew that I had. This felt like he was trying to play mind games with me. In the gentlest way that I could, I told him that I didn’t think he was ready for a relationship in the mental state that he was in. He needed to do more work on himself and find more coping mechanisms so he didn’t become so dependent on other people.

I didn’t have the emotional capacity to be his therapist, and that wasn’t my job. I just wanted to be his girlfriend and it was clear that he was not in a position that that was possible. He texted back a snarky reply to the effect of, “I hope you find peace and never have to stress about anything again.” Honestly, it was a better reply than I had been anticipating.

And they all lived happily ever aft-- oh. Nevermind.

Surprise surprise, both he and the ex-girlfriend were mental cases:

We also were very open about our mental illnesses from the very beginning. He told me that he had bipolar disorder and possibly OCD; that didn’t scare me, some of the sweetest people I know have those conditions. I told him that I have depression, generalized anxiety, and ADD. We bonded over depression humor, something that only people who have been in the throes of it really ever understand and find humorous.

This is usually the point where you say "I know, it's a stereotype that all X are Y", but I'll submit the prevous 80+ pages of this thread as evidence why we don't need that disclaimer here.

"Conservatives believe poly is a justification for raping her." WTF is with these tards confusing mainstream republicans with the fucking Taliban?

Because they can feel immediately threatened by people they don't like, while not actually going anywhere near anyone who would threaten them for real.
 
It's actually possible to set up a legal entity with the protections of a civil marriage for three or more people in the USA. My ex knew a lawyer whose specialty involved doing this for people.

No prizes given for guessing why she's my ex.

It was also possible to do that for gay couples before gay marriage got legalized, minus the potential for a federal tax break. But that wasn't good enough for the gays, and the system won't be good enough for polys who have decided they are oppressed just like the gays.
