THANK you! Polyamory doesn’t work for me personally, but from my experiences and observations it appears there are two general categories: people who are genuinely alternative and grow stronger and more plentiful bonds through polyamory, and misogynistic boyfriends who are tired of being committed and want to have…
This political cartoon is being called racist right now in Chicago. It depicts a black youth asking for money to fund public school, and an old fat white businessman stuffing his pocket with TIF cash.
My sister loves to throw around “political correctness”. She’ll say something shitty and then add “Sorry I’m not politically correct” in this sneering tone that indicates she thinks she’s clever and edgy. I used to argue with her but since Trump has been in office, she feels she has new legitimacy (she claims to hate…
Texas: Where stopping one illegal immigrant is worth risking hundreds of citizens lives.
100% agree here. It sounds like their relationship is cracking pretty bad and trying to salvage it by letting him go dick around doesn’t sound like a good fix.
I’ve wondered about that. A year’s advantage is nice in kindergarten, but what do you do when your kid is 18, ready to move out and be an adult, and they’re only a junior in high school? That seems incredibly shitty for everyone.
I have t say, living in NZ is great for this.
I know so many people from UMich specifically who have taken classes with football players and were truly astounded by the things they didn’t know. Basic academic skills we all learned in middle school type shit. And I feel bad for them, honestly. The adults in their lives (meaning everyone from coaches to politicians…
Right?
My favorite part of this type of idiot is that if she does give in, she’s going to get way more of what he wants (sex without having to work hard or be committed) and he’s going to get way more of what he doesn’t want (considering the needs of others, constant communication).
He’s not looking for Polyamory, he’s looking for swinging.
And an open relationship is not polyamory - this dude just wants to not feel guilty when he sleeps around.
You didn’t miss much. There wasn’t enough room on the floating door for all the blue people after the white people drove their iceberg into their planet. Add in some Native American genocide lip service mixed with the magical negro trope, and top of the line CGI, and that’s the movie.
I never saw the first Avatar.
I know several people in polyamorous relationships. Each one has said a variation of the same thing: “It’s not more sex. It’s more conversations about feelings.”
Thank you! I’m bummed with all the really gross anti-polyam stuff in this thread (“he already has a side chick,” “wants new pussy but wants to split the rent,” etc.) without any real consideration for the issues surrounding polyamory.
Sloppy attempts at it (like this one) give open relationships a bad name, but almost…
So much this!!! Polyamory, swinging threesomes can all be great! But there needs to be a lot of trust, enthusiasm, and mutual benefit for everyone. I think monogamous people can totally open relationships and be happy but they need to have been happy and feel fulfilled BEFORE doing so. You don’t stretch yourself even m…
This sounds very similar to people who have a kid to try to bring their relationship closer together. Why would making things more complicated fix anything when you are already failing to communicate right now?!
Okay, I actually am in a polyamorous relationship, and have been since about 2001, and I can tell MVP that there’s actually a term for the bullshit her boyfriend is pulling. It’s called “Relationship Broken? Add More People!”, and it refers specifically to the kind of person who thinks that polyamory is a solution to…
