They shouldn't treat the ex like that. That's incredibly unfair. They are being cruel and shouldn't be like that, she cares and acts far more fairly to them when she could have had every one of them kicked out but let them in on it all.
All thee of his new partners are jerks for treating his ex like that. Sorry she didn’t want her husband dedicating his time and energy and sex into multiple other people after he married her in a monogamous marriage. She had no obligation to stay with him after he expressed that and they can die mad about it
True but she is allowed to get upset about sharing him when she thought they weren't like that. She might have needed time to understand and come to terms with it. It would be interesting to know what happened next with them. While the Wife couldn't share herself with others, she could see them as friends in time.
@@mladywolf there’s not much coming to term with the fact that your HUSBAND seemingly out of the blue wants to see other people. She did not stay with him because that wasn’t a feasible relationship for her and she is not in the wrong for anything, and his new partners are assholes for treating her like she is
@@EnitVal no that was the implication. Nothing at all was said about him being bisexual; she never said anything and they never said that was the issue that split them up. She explicitly says she doesn’t understand polyamory but says nothing about bisexuality. Basically she broke up with him bc she didn’t want him to see other people at the same time as her which is 100% rational
There's a lot to be said for each side of the debate. But having been in a tri, I gotta say it's complicated enough with just a duet. Adding more people to the dynamic doesn't make it easier or better.
That's a hard "NO" from me. My husband and i have been together 18 years, married 16, and there is no way on earth. Im not judging. We have a family friend that's in a poly relationship. She is a lovely person, and her first partner is fabulous. Dont know her other partner. Watching her and her partner, its a difficult relationship, and particularly difficult at times.
It just ends up throwing more wrenches into the works. I know a girl I went to high school with who’s in a polyamorous relationship with a married couple… it’s pretty obvious that she’s just the third wheel they like to have fun with. If that works for her, good, but I’m sure she wants more than that and is in denial.
@@meggrotte4760 You are most likely referring to the fact that in some societies there are polyamorous relationships where 1 man has many wives and none of them actually share themselves except the husband. That is only one distinct type of poly relationship of many. Just because you see one example and it makes you uncomfortable doesn't mean all examples of it are morally corrupt. Don't generalize people like that, that's not right.
I am in a multi dynamic relationship with a husband, who is monogamous to me, and a current boyfriend who is also; I previously had a partner that was polyamorous and had two other girlfriends. From personal experience I can say that so much of what they portrayed here is unhealthy; all parties in the dynamic need to be consenting, honest and respectful of each other's needs and the needs of the other partners, or it just doesn't work for anyone. 😅❤++
It always ends up being a political game in the end. Everyone competing with each other. I don’t care how open and consenting y’all are with each other, you all have your own selfish motives at heart. We all do, it’s human.

@@theresemartin7930I’m polyamorous. as long as everyone consents there’s nothing wrong with it. maybe stop being so worried about other people’s choices that don’t affect you personally.
@@theresemartin7930 Baloney. You have no right to pass judgement on someone just because they choose to live a different lifestyle and make different choices than you. Many cultures throughout history have practiced polyamory-some still do, and they do just fine. Just because your culture is brought up to believe one way, doesn't make it the ONLY true way. What matters is someone lives the life that makes them the best person they can be, the most caring and compassionate, the most willing to learn, grow and teach others to help them grow, and to connect in a positive way with others. And being sanctimonious is NOT a positive way. We're all different people, each with a different path. So while it may not work for you, it doesn't mean it doesn't work.
I do have the right because God gave it to me. Part of my Catholic duty is to bring more sheep back to the Lord's flock. In order yo do that, I need to point out sinful ways. It's called righteous judgement. How can a person realize what they're doing is wrong if no one speaks up and lets them know? I'd be sinning if I let others sin.
Call me old-school, but IMO romantic relationships are reserved for two people _only._ I could never be in an open relationship because that would be cheating. To me, that’s not valid. This just seems off.

Not really. Even though it's technically illegal, people engage in polyamory all the time. As long as all parties involved are over 18 and are consenting, then it's not really cheating.
@@farinshore8900 Yet she never divorced him so even though she herself didn't like it, she didn't stop him. So it's technically not cheating if the husband/wife lets it happen regardless of how they personally feel.
Monogamy is all drama with cheating and betraying but at least in Polyamory, there is no cheating. And so long as they are all consenting adults I see nothing wrong with it.
The Ottoman Empire allowed the Sultan to have multiple women who gave him many sons. The infighting between brothers got so bad that they had to initiate a law. Literally saying the new Sultan, upon his ascension to the throne, had to kill all his brothers and their sons (even infants). All to prevent any and all attempts to take the throne through force of arms. If the Sultan had only taken one wife and only had children by her, then a lot of issues can be avoided. Same thing happened to all royalties that didn't practice monogamy. Monogamy is necessary for handling things like inheritance rights. Because some people, mostly men, want to make sure the children are in fact theirs. So that the property and inheritance remains in the family through a blood child. Not a lot of men are willing to give their property and inheritance to a child they know or suspected was fathered by someone else. For women, regardless of who fathers her children they will always get an inheritance from her but men are more picky. That said, there are cases of women who will deny their stepchildren inheritance because their husband had the child with another woman in an affair. Don't get me wrong I'm not dissing polyamory; I guess it's up to personal preference. I'm just saying it can cause it's own set of issues.
I am a very open-minded person and wholly believe in letting people be who they are without judgment but in a case like this the fact is this man is a "greedy bastard" as he said.

as someone who was in a poly relationship for 3ish years. don’t do it 🤩

Agreed. Biggest issues: Knowing who your medical proxy is and sharing a single bathroom.
It sounds good in theory but no lol to much going on for me. Plus I see many of these couples end up having favorites. Sister wives for example 😂😂
