    I think you’re analyzing polyamorous relationship from the traditional monogamous point of view. The vision of polyamorous relationships is totally different from traditional relationships in most of the topics you mention, so your conclusions could be wrong.

      Problem is we’re wired to be a certain way, and for most people that means they have certain needs, and you can’t logic that away. A lot of people get into polyamory then quickly realize it can’t give them what they want. A lot of the time, it means people start trying to break things up so they can have the other person to themselves.

      It sounds good on paper, but in practice it’s definitely not for everyone.

        Of course it’s not for everyone, because it’s a different way to understand relationships. For sure if you try to understand polyamorous relationships from traditional point of view, you will fail.
