Do you realize how fucking rad it is that somewhere in Monolith Production's offices there's a file named "Tina's Save File"? (or something like that)

"feeling like no one attracted to you and people think you're a creep sucks."

these people are sick. on the other hand i'm a straight guy and i can't say i've never felt some of those emotions before. feeling like no one attracted to you and people think you're a creep sucks. and asking someone out sucks too because then they have the power because you're the one who likes them. that's why i…

My entire argument was basically that women HAVE the fucking context to know that there is at least one guy out there who could and would kill her just for the fact that she exists and we don't fucking know which one he is yet. It could be the guy catcalling or the one who stands too close on the subway. It could be…

I see what you mean, my reality is skewed by the fact they I probably would not be in one if we were not on seperate continents. Then again I have been in "closed" relationships that were also "okay" and some were downright awful. What's the difference between "dating" and an open relationship? I don't really see one…

Saying "Open Relationships" are Horseshit is like saying "Marriage" is horseshit. Really depends on the relationship and the couple involved.

I think 3 or 4 person relationships are an interesting frontier. There is every reason to think even more parents is even better for children.

The guy who wrote the original article was a gigantic douche, but that does not mean it can never work. I've been in a n open relationship for a couple years now (geography is a huge factor) and although there have been rough patches, it's okay. I think you're conflating marriage with simply dating. One does not love…

Jealousy is a fear reaction, though. It's a case of, "If this person goes out with this other person, then they'll like him/her more than me and they'll leave me and I'll be alone."

Actually, poly's pretty great for the whole "household and kids" thing. More people equals more incomes, more help around the house, more people to share childcare responsibilities...it's some work to manage, but so is every relationship. And if my wife finds a "99" to my "97"...then I'm not worried, because there's…

come back in another 4 years and let us know how it's going for you. You lead off with a prosecutorial tone about porn and then try to lord your life choice over others because you've been married 4 years. Ooooh, 4 whole years!

You are the reason Gawker commenters are worse than those morons on Youtube.

Because of the children. Obviously.

The main things I think about open relationships.:

And some adults are capable of managing those emotions. Crazy, I know.

So Drew do you enjoy pornography? Does your wife know, tolerate, or perhaps even encourage this masturbation aid? If so enjoy this degree of openness in your own relationship, and it's various beneficial secondary effects. Additionally feel free to stop making sweeping (and hyperbolically ridiculous) generalizations…

Very good point. It's a lot easier to control an action (i.e. fucking someone) than an emotion (i.e. jealousy).

One time a few years ago, my buddies and I we were out at the bar on a Saturday night when we noticed that we were being watched by a group of weirdos nearby. They sat down with us (uninvited) and the first thing out of the girl's mouth was "We're polyamorous!"

When I was in high school, my girlfriend of like a year and a half at the time proposed an open relationship and I reluctantly agreed. She was quite popular with members of the opposite sex and I was marginally popular at best so she had considerably more success than me in the hook up department before the entire…

So the only acceptable and workable relationship is the type you have. Duly noted.
