my bf is poly and already has a bf, so he doesn’t want to initiate anything with me. he doesn’t wanna call nor hang out, and he always texts very dry. he’s nice, but i don’t feel loved.

I’m not doing well mentally though. my gf already ignores me (she and i are poly too) and i feel like i will die if he breaks up (though i clearly won’t die)

    Posts like these have taught me to run for the hills the second someone mentions being “poly.”

      It works for some people but everything i ever hear just sounds so high maintenance.

      Then again, the people in comfortable stable poly relationships probably don’t post much about it online

        My ex used poly as a way to get me to help him find the next bang maid.

        I’ve never seen healthy poly in practice.
