I was totally unfamiliar with the concept of polyamory before you introduced me to it. But I was lonely, and you were gorgeous, so even though you professed to be happily married, I threw caution to the wind. As the months flew by and we became so much more than fuck buddies, I did my research and discovered two things: (1) I’m down with polyamory, and (2) you and your selfish, entitled prick of a husband have absolutely NO fucking clue what you’re doing. You were a matched set of Eastside suburbanites who wanted to feel edgy and be anything other than the child-rearing automatons that you are. You thought that bringing in a female lover would satisfy your bisexual needs, but you and Hubby never figured the two of us would fall in love, did you? And since Hubby thought poly was only about fucking like bonobos in heat—VETO!
Now I’ve been sacrificed on the altar of your doomed marriage while you and Hubby dash ass-over-teakettle back into monogamy. It makes me feel ever so much better that you know what an utter asshole you’ve been to me—but please, don’t feel a moment’s guilt over my broken heart. While you’re desperately trying to keep your Titanic of a relationship afloat, I’ll be loving someone else (or maybe multiple someones) who actually knows that polyamory means “many loves” not “many fucks.”

@45 have you tried this thing called Google?

I don’t think getting left is really the point, and I’m on good terms with my former partner. I don’t find it unreasonable to be upset when a person claims to be someone they’re not in order to manipulate those around them, and harms others in the process of achieving what they want. This girl did it with the claim that she’s poly. Particularly since this IA is about “poly poseurs” and this gal certainly is one.
# 9, that’s right pin it on the male. Typical woman, thinks with her blamestormer!
I truly am saddened by so much loin attention in our society and I love sex. I love making love. I love the idea of making love. I love the memory of making love. I love it when others make love too. I think it is incredibly healthy. I really do. It is amazing to me that there is such energy poured in to our lower halves when there is so much good that we can do in a deeply committed relationship and then in the world at large. Maybe many of us really are 3 year olds and need to have every lolly pop in the grocery store line. It truly sickens me. Grow the f up people. Get a life. Man up. Woman up. The world is so about so much more than you and your loins.
