A relationship is not going to make you better. A relationship is not going to “fix” you. A relationship isn’t going to just erase all the problems you’re facing or change the fact that the work you’re going to need to do to get yourself in a better place is going to be internal. TWO relationships, however-
Main character trios are meant to end up as a polycule and you can’t change my mind
I realized I was okay with my partner having other partners by the time I was 13 (though I didn't have a word for it at the time) and the reason I realized this was because I was so full of seething hatred (the kind only 13 year olds are capable of) for the love triangle in twilight that by the time I got to the third book I was like "who CARES if she has two boyfriends. I wouldn't care if my partner had other partners as long as I knew about it and everyone was okay with it. Anything is better than this nonsense"
I realized this several years before I realized I liked girls. I'm a lesbian. Anyway I just think "realizing you're poly via twilight hate" is objectively hilarious but it does, unfortunately, mean that twilight was a formative experience for me.
Twilight defined a generation. Love it🫶 or hate it🤬, it still shaped you. Very few escaped this fate.
Your fate, specifically, though, is objectively hilarious
Seriously though, at least you got something worthwhile out of the books! I often think it is easier to define ourselves first by what we are NOT than by what we ARE, so I can't say I'm surprised. Hating love triangles seems to be a common theme with us polyams 😂
mediocre polyam movies idea(s)
(based on @polyamorousmood ones)
- just another "Ein sommer in" low-cost nap-inducer movie where some urbanite Hannah Schmidt gets lost during vacation and ends up in a mediterranean cottagecore village where the man who helped her and the other one whose house is (oddly but cordially) living in (and helping with his artist career), both of them who hate each other (because ancient family reasons), fall in love with her and discover they were too all the time and after summer drama they just get married (to the joy of the mother of one of them who was worried he would never do it but was furious first when discovered with who but then again present love > past hate and she's maybe in love too after all this time with the German's father who came all the way worried for her) before a skeptical but encouraging people in a traditional not-so-traditional near-a-lake wedding
- shit i got carried away i wanted to post more than one (1) idea but ein sommer in ideas just slap different
i still want this to be an actual movie hope some low-cost german productions take pity on us

Wait, are they engaged only between the two, or all the three of them?

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I recently perfected a new paralegal proceeding called the trivorce, wherein you dissolve a marriage at the precise angle necessary to spontaneously generate ex nihilo a third ex-partner who did not previously exist
Dark polyamory. Polyantipathy, perhaps
"this meeting could've been an email" but instead it's "this ship war could've been a threesome"

ARE YOU hopelessly fixated on a specific fictional polycule and have way too much time on your hands? boy do i have an unnecessarily elaborate ship chart for you!
(versions with 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 characters and an example under the cut)
I think the solution to love triangles is polyamory
I really play too much with the poll function. The tags people leaving here are kinda insane I mean neuro divergent 😳
look, i wouldn't mind them fucking someone else like, do it as much as your want. just tell me. i don't care about sex outside marriage, but i do care about lying and keeping things from each other

For every "But how could you manage [X example of competing priorities]!!" that people have about polyamory, I'm here to tell you there IS a monog version of that problem.
Let's come out swinging with "but this person will always love/prioritize the other one more!!" being not actually that fundamentally different from dating a single parent who will always put their kid first. Different type of relationship, sure. But someone else's needs will still always come before yours, including limiting when, how, and how much you can date.
More examples! This is not exhaustive! A lot of these difficulties could have many sources actually! And people are coming up with new beef with polyamory so I can't possible list them all!
- They're always love the other person more -> single parents
- They're going to have so little time for you! -> "Career oriented"
- You'll have to sleep alone :/ -> regularly travels for work; pressure from religious family not to move in before marriage; long distance
- If something comes up while they're with the other person, they're not going to check their phone! you'll be on your own -> work requires phones locked up; loses/forgets to charge their phone; the sports bar he went to with his buddies was too loud and he just didn't hear it
- You're never going to get taken home to meet their family -> shitty family
- You'll basically never get any alone time with your partner -> kids; roommates; elder care
- Your Christmas present is going to be half as good because they have to buy two! -> kids; loss of income; boomer husband stereotype who puts off buying presents until the last minute and does a shit job
And that's not even getting into whether these complaints are able to be worked around (usually!) or even worth all this hullabaloo (often not!)
