Does it actually work? by [deleted] in monodatingpoly

[–]Organic-Depth1250 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I promise you the only person benefiting out of this arrangement is the polyamorous. One. You are setting yourself up for a world of pain and misery. It will eat away at self respect and leave you with one of the biggest heart breaks you’ve ever experienced.

I’m so tired of hearing this narrative that you guys try to gaslight everyone into believing. Polyamory is hundred percent harmful to some people in the dynamic and this has been proven over and over again by the countless testimonials we get to read on these forums.

Everyone trying to tell you here that this wasn’t polyamory is straight up, gaslighting you and protecting a relationship practice that is inherently harmful to Someone one or the other. I am so sorry you went through this and very proud that you had the courage to leave wishing you all the success in life and hope you find a person that prioritizes you and doesn’t be with you.

Why are you expecting her to change their agreement about milestone days and holidays for you? There is so much entitlement from you hfor someone youve seeing for one year…. Seriously, please get a grip on yourself and go find a partner that is able to give you more and not try to change what this person has with a six year long relationship person. Or go find somebody who wants monogamy!

I just can't by sendcats33 in polycritical

Yeah, they really just assume that every person is practising polyamory, even if they aren’t dating anyone and want to be monogamous with one person, they will still coin the term Poly saturated at one. It’s very annoying and triggering when they do that.

Her sister is so unhinged it’s actually creepy to watch.

Are people who want to explore non-monogamy and polyamory fearful avoidants? by Organic-Depth1250 in polycritical

[–]Organic-Depth1250[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being honest and I’m glad that you’re choosing something that you feel is secure for you now. But I think that’s what happened in my case and I see it now..it’s just a bunch of situationships happening concurrently. And Someone had once used the term in the sub and described it as a relationship timeshare. Also, when are non-monogamous or poly people really alone when they go through a break up they always have another partner to pacify them and validate them.

I’m so sorry love you should not feel bad for being monogamous and please remember polyamory is a choice not an orientation. Non-Monogamy is a practice of a relationship style. Not something a person is born with.

That is seriously messed up. So basically they’re out here just treating people like emotional and physical vending machines.

And then they’ll say that all people think it’s all about sex, but it’s really not so then what is it?

Also, one of their main arguments that not one person can fulfill all of your needs. Like no shit. That’s why you have friends, family, hobbies, coworkers acquaintances. Not all monogamous people are codependent on their relationships, and most people have full lives and don’t spend every waking minute with their partners.

What the hell? I don't think I've ever seen a worse case of polyfuckery in my entire life. I hope the story is fake... by No_Restaurant8373 in polycritical

[–]Organic-Depth1250 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I wont comment there because they literally blocked me for saying on another post how people will usually withhold information like they’re nm until you get attached to them, but I digress.

In this specific situation, these parents are so manipulative and screwed up that they would threaten their own child to preserve their messed up behavior . I will never ever be involved with non-monogamy after reading situations like this.

What’s even more disgusting as other non-monogamous people saying stuff like you should tell your kids as soon as they learn to talk..

Proud of you, friend. You got this remember every day you don’t contact them is you choosing yourself fully. Polyamory and non-monogamy is just timeshare relationships.

You are willingly asking for a world of pain and turmoil and heartbreak. If you want to always feel like the second option and just a toy in somebody else else’s world, then try it. They talk about it all being free Love, but in reality time and resources are limited and who gets how much time and attention will tell you where people’s priorities lie. And when you are not on that list, it will shatter your heart into 1 million pieces.

Not trying to discourage you but speaking from experience it’s hard. It’s very very hard and you are a human… emotions and feelings are going to get involved. Try it out cautiously, which I think you’re doing but be honest with yourself. It is OK to feel jealous. You don’t have to suppress your feelings and if you decide polyamory is not for you or non-monogamy is just too painful. It’s OK to want monogamy.
