To think that most polyamorous relationships are just one desperate person trying to keep a person who doesn’t love them?

“Ethical non-monogamy” sounds lovely until you realise one person is crying themselves to sleep every night.

I’m not bitter, just sharing my perspective.

Your perspective isn't necessarily shared by those who actually practice polyamorous relationships.

Everyone is different and not all circumstances are the same.

For example, who is the partner crying themselves to sleep when one has long term zero sex drive, and the other would love to have a physical sexual relationship?

Why are you so bitter that you have to slag off the way strangers conduct their life?

That could be said of any relationship, one person willing to put up with an array of shit in order to keep someone.

I'm not sure why so many on MN are so bothered about poly relationships atm, such a random thing to obsess over.
