What I don’t understand are Coach’s ‘high end’ bags. If I’m in the market for a $1,500 handbag, I’m going to buy Balenciaga or something, not a mall brand.

I get what you’re saying, trust me. As a federal scientist, my agency gets shat on by conservatives for doing “biased” science when we really take rigorous measures to ensure that our data are as bias-free as humanly possible. But industry reps, specifically those with scientific or technical expertise, could…

The center of my group is a husband and wife (who hit 17 years yesterday, as it happens). Basically this-ish: Me - GF - H - H’s GF.

Right??? I have nothing against folks that want to live a polyamorous lifestyle, but that’s not what this seems like to me. This seems like a guy who just couldn’t cope with his wife getting sick and got a girlfriend.

Is “throuple” a media thing? Because I’ve never heard a non-brand new polyam person say it.

Thank you. Also, we agree on throuple. Never throuple. Yeah, I got the sense this was a bad example (also this format does not lend itself to answering questions that might make it seem healthier - the first wife seems extremely determined that THIS WAS ALL MY IDEA in a way that reads defensive, but is it defensive…

The two women’s lack of romantic involvement with each other is not mutually exclusive to polyamory. It just makes them a vee and not a triad. What would, however, qualify them as polygamous is if the women lack the equal freedom to take on additional male partners.

So any relationship with more than 2 people can be considered polyamory as long as we’re talking consenting adults? Is that the difference with polygamy or do the terms actually mean the same thing or is polygamy something that would fall under the umbrella of polyamory? (I’m sorry. I don’t think I know anyone in an…

Poly comes in all kinds of different configurations. Basically it’s just ethical non-monogamy where multiple intimate or romantic relationships are possible.

Honestly, this is not polyamory. This is a case of a woman who is desperately in need of counseling.

If you find that, PLEASE let me know. Though I will say, in my decade-plus of poly, it’s WAY, WAY more common for a woman to have two male partners than vis versa.

Oh man. I know Polyamory comes in many flavors, but that one is just... sad. Couldn’t they find a poly threesome of three folks happy and madly in love with each other? Guess a lot of that demographic don’t give a shit about expensive wedding dresses...

Darth Trump.

We’re talking about a series where peace and serenity triumphed over hatred and lust for power, and where a hot chick in a bikini released herself and then returned to her position of political and military power. Are we really thinking Trump gets those movies?

As if Darth Vader would wear tacky ass yellow gold.

The last part of your comment is so ON POINT. Can’t help laughing out loud!

Chris Evans wouldn’t be allowed to return to Massachusetts if he spoke out against Brady. His uncle would probably be voted out of office if Chris went on the record against Tom Brady.

“You have women that are active out in these streets, they going to lunches and dinners every night”

I can only wish for such arrogance.
