yeah sure whatever

now what I need on my desk by 10am sharp tomorrow is 15-25 scenarios of The Character smeared in blood (a mixture of their own and others') and weak at the knees as they dissolve into a paroxysm of despair upon the sudden inescapable reckoning with their forcibly shattered sense of selfhood and humanity

it's so epic that breakups/shitty dynamics/drama/mistreatment/neglect etc. are all just Stuff That Happens In Life if you're monogamous but if you're not then it's an itemized list of trespasses that the poly community MUST account for

my point is never that polyamory requires no emotional maturity or work, it's that these are things you should be working on no matter what your relationships with others (sexual/romantic or otherwise) look like, but when monogamous people chronically fail to do any of it it's just considered par for the course/human failure/totally normal to be this irrationally controlling/"sometimes things don't work out" etc. and not Proof That Monogamy Just Doesn't Work In Real Life
