      The only poly people I know are a girl that is the embodiment of beige color&vanilla scent but actually is (I'm 98% sure) a dom of her boyfriend who doesn't want to be in a poly relationship but can't break up. Fucked up shit.

        Karens are predators. Everything they have can and will be used against their supposed inferiors in any court they have access to.

        like the only two people i know that were in polyamorous relationships also did not want to be on it but were too into the other person to break up with them, like i don't mind if the people are on the same vibe and both want it but this seems to happen ocassionally and it is not a good vibe

          So I’m in a poly relationship, I’ll be honestly it mostly works cuz none of us live together and we’re all super busy so we hang out separately like once or twice a week. It is really just like having multiple fuck buddies who all kinda know each other. If I ever decided to get serious and cohabitate with any of my current partners we’d probably either go monogamous or have a more structured poly set up.

          But yeah it does seem to work best when everyone in the “quael” or whatever is being super laid back about everything.

            like this is a good system i can get behind this and also like this problem i am talking about is also a thing in monogamic relationships like abusive people will manipulate and harm people so they can have what they want like it is not a problem with poly stuff it is a problem with abusive behaviour

          It was a quadruple hit for me when I discovered in the same day that a) this ultra-sweet girl was actually a dom; b) she was pushing and pushing into poly despite the dude not wanting; c) she did some very stupid moves while pushing it; d) This guy won't leave her despite not liking the situation.

              No, I mean yes. See: the guy shared a lot of shitpost of unknown irony level about being a sub and other BDSM things where the dude was the sub.

                  I really like the guy but I could never become IRL friends cuz he lives in another city. And the girl was really cool too, but this situation really doesn't look good for her in my perspective. Again, I don't know all the details.

            a) this ultra-sweet girl was actually a dom

            this is the only thing that i would not be surprised to hear out of these because i have had the mirror of this a assertive and domineering personality but is into sub stuff so i just don't assume anymore everyone is kinky in their own way and that is fine. but by the pushing you mean as they were in a relationship and then she was pushing to open it because that seems awful

            Cuckoldry is a recapitulation of class exploitation, the perfect neoliberal relationship. By analogy, poly leans more toward anarchism (there's a school of poly called relationship anarchy, as a matter of fact). Not the same thing, at all, and no surprise that names experience a Gresham's dynamic in the face of predators.
