Would you ask for rain without clouds? For music without rhythm? Get into d&d.

one of my favorite posts ever on r/polyamory boiled down to "how do I find poly people who aren't into d&d?"

So I'd like you to meet my partners. This is the broken, this is the beaten, and this is the damned.

*takes drag off a cigarette* I'm getting the team back together for one last job *pulls out 6 identical rings* A happily ever after

Idk what budding poly person needs to hear this, but if you need to break up with your partner because they're strictly monog, you're not a bad person and it doesn't mean your love for them isn't real

This week on "Things That Aren't About Polyamory to Anyone but Me"...

Sometimes I’m talking to a friend and I’m like oh I KNOW that the timeline where we are married in is incredibly close to this one. If a butterfly had clapped its asscheeks somewhere ten years ago we would be making out right now.

"How do you deal with jealousy?" Like, a lot of ways, but also sometimes you just feel it and move on.

I feel jealous when a street cat goes up to someone else instead of me, doesn't mean I carry around cat treats in an effort to prevent random cats from ever picking someone else 🤷‍♀️

What if "If you love them, set them free" but you DON'T break up with them about it tho👀

[polyamorousmood]

how to be a REAL polyam. I honestly can't stand people who call themselves polyamorous but won't do this one basic thing 🙄🙄:

Kiss me

When someone is trying to walk the opposite direction from us on the sidewalk:

polyamorous culture is figuring out a semi-functional way to walk around with three people holding hands lol

now if only we can figure out four…

polyamorous culture is taking over the entire sidewalk

When I say "polyamory isn't for everyone!" I dont mean it objectively sucks and some people can suck it up well enough to call it their life. I fucking love it here.

No, I'm simply begging a certain type of person not to poison my dating pool...

today in "things that aren't about polyamory to anyone but me"

[polyamorousmood]

For every "But how could you manage [X example of competing priorities]!!" that people have about polyamory, I'm here to tell you there IS a monog version of that problem.

Let's come out swinging with "but this person will always love/prioritize the other one more!!" being not actually that fundamentally different from dating a single parent who will always put their kid first. Different type of relationship, sure. But someone else's needs will still always come before yours, including limiting when, how, and how much you can date.

You only have to be mono if your partner calls "dibs" otherwise you're poly by default

Probably bad poly date night idea: "fuck, marry, kill" about your polycule members

Pretty polyam of middle school girls to have a crush on the whole boy band, if I'm being honest
