Polyamory rule - helpful infographic

68 comments

I'm totally cool with polyamory and its variants, but this infographic definitely paints monoamory as a lesser choice which is cringe (it also says "idealized monoamory" instead of just monoamory which I don't get).
Don't judge other's choices, doesn't matter if their choice is polyamory or monoamory.
- I agree with not judging. I think monoamory is just labeled as "idealized" because it's the current societal standard. Some people who don't mesh with monogamy may not know there's another option, and so it can be helpful to say that monogamy is only just that, idealized, and not actually necessarily better.
- I don't see how any of that is objective aside from it being the most commonly accepted, or "pushed" in your words.
  A successful two person relationship requires a significant amount of compromise and sacrifice. How does having more partners lessen that?
  
  Lmao you can't just say "this is objective" after the most fucking subjective sentence ever written. You're clueless.
I like this, but I don't like calling them affairs when everyone involved knows about it.
Egalitarian Polyamory working pretty well for me 😊
This post reeks of incel fantasy.
- They are just people living their lives and doing it with consent, except for the cheating part, but that is just shitty behaviour.
- Why? Wtf
- It may be terrible for some people. If both partners are committed to a union based on undivided devotion, it's a powerful thing indeed.
- "I do relationship anarchy"
  I guess 0 partners is still considered anarchy.
Cringe
- "The diversity of love" and cheating is second on the list. Like fuck off lmfao.
Reminds me of that one sketch
