You made a thread:

How do you guys feel about polyamory?
Amy1190


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.

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.

I.e., The definition of situational ethics.

So many people would rather not have to stand for something. They'd rather float through life in a gray area.

Right and wrong are relative. If you met a poly guy, you'd both be right about your own views - but wrong for each other.

If you judge his beliefs to be morally wrong, your beliefs are also morally wrong.

You are confusing polyamory with polygamy.

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.
