If you’re monogamous and you pretend to your partner or lie to yourself that you’re fine with polyamory when you’re not, I need you to understand that you’re about to ruin two lives minimum.
I see a bunch of stories around the internet of the evil poly bringing the mono who wasn’t ready into the polycule through pressure. But I’ve seen so so so many less of these play out in real time than I’ve seen an insecure mono like someone so much that they resolve these feelings by making the poly partner bear the responsibility of them until they’re rendering themselves monogamous and suffering for it. I’m so fucking tired of it. Your relationship is made of needs, boundaries and hopes, and it’s your responsibility to know them well enough to know if your relationships has a contradiction strong enough that communication can’t overcome it. Some people can handle it. Be realistic about if you can.
Little miss run-on-sentence is really really mad about this right now.
Harassing your polyamorous partner into being monogamous for you is the most publicly acceptable way to say “you need to put yourself back into the closet for my sake.”
It’s no different to saying “Well I’m only into men so you transitioning isn’t a thing that can happen.”
