Right! And that's why I got upset at someone who replied here. I don't expect people to all agree with it, but many of the comments are downright hateful and based on misinformation or "I knew one poly person and they were screwed up".
Now when people are telling what they are feeling, it is waste of your time to be upset. Some people never accept it. Also it is illegal in several countries to have several married spouses, why unmarried partners would be different? Why you need acceptation for your brothel? Just live like you want to and give the f for opinions.
I just don't believe these people knows what love is and what is to be in love with someone. They can believe what ever they want to. It is like porn, some do it and some don't, rarely people who represent different morals and values are able to be friends. It is like someone chooses to be a serial killer, killing is just about values. Society created a norm that is wrong. Why it would be wrong? Why not just let everyone to be their trueself and be friends with them all?
Because we set limits, we have values and rules and we have inner, personal conscience what says what is right and wrong.
I do judge emotional games with people and I don't believe being with several people would not hurt those who are "secondary" affairs. It is not love in my books, it is controlling and self esteem games, If someone else is fine for that without getting the best that is not my problem. I more like feel pity for these people, they are unable to get one persons full attention and full true love and accept some pity pieces. Or then total cold without knowing actual true feelings. Like disorder as ADHD of crushing.
Each to their own.
Each to their own. Your interpretation of love most likely wouldn't be the same as mine. Live and let live is my motto. Yes, I may judge and speak of my own opinions but I would strongly act against forcing people to accept my own moral standards.
When come down to personal relationships, there's no right or wrong. There is happy and not happy.
There IS right and wrong. The problem is that everyone interprets them differently.
I think "polyamory" is someone's fancy name for "indecision." It sounds better, so some people are now willing to "adopt" it.
If I met a guy who was into "polyamory," one of us would be right and one would be wrong. Therefore, a mismatch.
Having situational ethics ruins people's lives.
The situation ethics we have adopted towards monogamy has already ruined our life, and allowing divorce has already killed marriage. You can mark my words that in hundred years, there will be no marriage. :-)
By the way, it's not right or wrong, it's just a mismatch or having different perspectives towards life and relationship.

It's unlikely an openly polyamorous man would even want to date you if he knew you were monogamous. Poly people I have met have no interest in monogamous partners.
There are "mixed" poly couples, where one is monogamous and accepting of their polyamorous partner, but yes, most poly people would not be interested in dating someone who was not accepting of their views. Problems may occur if someone already in a monogamous relationship discovers that they are actually poly, and have to learnt to deal with it and with their partner who may not accept it - which is fine.
