I wrote yesterday about the woman in pink +4 being used entirely for hateful anti-poly bigotry, but deleted the tweet because apparently a lot of people hadn't seen that story and I didn't want to give it any traffic. Half of Hollywood are in open relationships ffs.

Polyamory itself is ugly - leads to anxiety & depression - erodes paternity certainty/foundations necessary for family formation - erodes social trust - requires obscene logistical/emotional overhead - leads to the breakdown of civilization I’ve never met a happy poly person

Polyamory isn’t for me tbh. I’m generally not a jealous type, but I draw the line at another man being intimate with my wife. I find it difficult to understand how people in such relationships manage jealousy, insecurities etc. Must take a very mentally strong person.

i've been poly for a long time, and it is a learning process. with one partner, I started off feeling *intense*, almost sickening jealousy when he was with other women, but over the course of 4-6 months it weakened until it completely went away.
