like the way so many people talk about the ‘problems with poly relationships’ makes me feel bad for not only their monogamous partners but even their close friends and their damn kids, bc they’ll just be listing shit that comes down to emotional maturity and compassion everyone should be growing and exercising in EVERY relationship
like ‘i could never be poly because i’m such a jealous person lol! if my partner even looks at someone on the street i get pissed off!’
cool, that sounds like a nightmare for your monogamous relationship also!
’imagine having to prioritize multiple people at once 🙄’ and they have 2 kids
“polyamorous relationships are more likely to fail” this is because of math. Most romantic relationships do not last for life. And the more people you are in a relationship with, the more chance that at least one of them will not last for life. Meanwhile, you are just assuming that your monogamous relationship is going to last for life, while doing nothing to address the communication problems that cause that to be an uncommon thing (nor preparing at all for what you’d do in the event that your relationship does end).
smh.
