One of the underrated benefits of dating someone who is dating someone else is that, when my boyfriend does something silly, I get to tattle to his girlfriend.
“Your boyfriend did blah.”
And then we get to giggle about how cute he is.
Ah, I miss the times
Being Poly because you‘re unable to have functional relationships.
Good news everyone! You can now have multiple dysfunctional relationships at the same time.
Just take that marriage, open her right up, and your problems will just walk right out the front door.
OKAY BUT HOW. I can’t even find one damn person, now I’m supposed to find multiple WHO ARE COOL WITH EACH OTHER!?
What kind of lives do you people even lead?
Skill issue.
But for real I run in circles with a lot of polyamory and have been open from the start of my relationship with my wife that I wasn’t interested in monogamy (she wasn’t either)
My fiancé and I were splitting up. I met my now partner on Tinder. They were poly from the start so I had to get used to that.
Married 8 years now, they’ve added a boyfriend and I have two girlfriends.
Well, I’ll be damned. Maybe I’ll give it a whirl someday when I meet two gorgeous, desperate, open-minded women.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
You too could be a gorgeous, desperate, open minded woman
I just don’t think I have the time or energy to learn an entirely new, even harder gender, at this stage. I’m on easy mode and getting my ass kicked already. My ex-wife WAS jealous of my calves in heels tho so…
Have you tried being an attractive woman?
I forgot it was an option, honestly. Good call.
Magnificent gif! 😄
Have you ever talked to a polycule? Most drama on earth
I promise plenty avoid the drama. also my god, have you ever talked to a monogamous couple?
Maybe humans just need to be single for awhile. Seems no configuration ionic or covalent seems to work
I’ve been single for a while and I have to say, other than the lack of sex, it’s been pretty fantastic.
Okay, but none of you are addressing the HOW? question. Dating apps suck now, it’s so hard to meet people, where are poly people meeting!? It’s literally a purely logistical question, to me. How. Where.
Queer spaces/meetups mostly! Or meeting partners’ partners. Grindr gets a bad rap for not entirely undeserved reasons, but I did meet some wonderful people there too.
Queer coffee shop that also does DND nights 🤣
I find the ones that are super open to the point where it’s kind of their whole personality tend to be the drama-llamas. There are plenty of polyciles out there in plain sight quite happy because they don’t go around broadcasting it.
I was mostly kidding (mostly)
Oh but I actually agree with you!

Honestly it’s a lot of calendar management and Trello boards. But we get to share on the cost of subscriptions, which is nice.
I’d never survive then, particularly without ADHD meds, as is presently relevant.
The people you imagine in a polycule are not as pretty as you think they are.
What does relationship style have to do with appearance? And who cares about appearance over personality? Weird comment
early on I mostly just got on with my partner’s partners, didn’t form relationships with all of them but if I like someone, chances are I’ll like their partners too!
Condominiums
This. :(
Tabletop poly is real. Variation on kitchen table poly where everybody can have dinner at the table with each other, it’s just we play ttrpg together though we mostly play mtg ;3
Or be part of a Trolecule
“Whilst” is the new “moist”. 🤢🤷🏽♂️
Personally, I’d shoot the driver - and then myself!
Glad to see Wizards With Guns in the wild. One of my favorite sketch channels atm.
Yeah same! They’re a bit hit and miss, but it seems like they genuinely have fun makong the vids
The first time I discovered them they reminded me of people I did theater with back in the day and it threw me into a little existential crisis.
They’re great!
Being poly to get all chores done.
But like, seriously. I’ve been (mostly jokingly) begging my husband’s girlfriend to move in for a decade. Daily life would be SO MUCH easier with 3 adults at home.
I know a poly situation that shares a house and a child. The child’s biological parents are no longer together, but 4 people live in the house and rotate school drop offs and pick-ups so there’s always someone home with the kid. And the adults still get to have non-kid centric parts of their lives.
Being poly to use your D20 to allocate chores.
Being poly to roll 20D20 for every 1D20 and have the victor hand you the dice
You have a Victor, too? Isn’t he great? 🤩🖖🏽
I now pronounce you barbarian, cleric, mage, a-- oh, look, they’re fighting amongst themselves again.
You role-players sure are a contentious group
That last one does sound nice.
