Today, my boyfriend said he wants a poly relationship. He said he wants to sleep with other people, but I can't in case I get feelings for them. Thats not what poly means, dude. FML

Just say no

Today, my boyfriend came out as a polyamorous, and then immediately asked me if he could date another guy I thought was my friend. I’m such a pushover, I said yes. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he wants to date other people, but still wants to be with me. He said, “Yes I want to be with you, but maybe we can both find better.” I found out he’s been texting another woman. FML

Today, I realized I'm in love with both my boyfriend of several years as well with a guy I recently met, meaning I'm polyamorous (which I always kinda knew). The problem is I don't want to leave my current boyfriend, and I really want to be with the new guy, but both situations are incompatible, which is making me miserable. FML

Today, my boyfriend randomly decided to let me know that he believes there's really no such thing as cheating, unless both partners explicitly agree that the relationship is monogamous. And no, he wouldn't agree that ours is. FML

Classic fantasy

Today, I made the mistake of telling my boyfriend that I once fooled around innocently with another girl. He’s now trying to force me to "explore my bisexuality". Not because he thinks it’s a healthy expression, but he thinks it’s "hot" and wants to set up threesomes. FML

Today, my boyfriend wanted to prove how honest he is so he showed me numerous texts in his phone where he told other women he was in a relationship before asking them to sleep with him. FML

Today, the guy I've been dating and sleeping with told me he is also dating another woman, but that they only kiss. I was under the impression we were exclusive for two months now, since I told him if we slept together that it would be. FML

This is when you tell him that he's free to sleep as much as he wants, with whoever he wants....except you.

He knows that's not what poly is. This scumbag is just looking for an excuse to cheat and hopes you'll be naive and gullible enough to accept. Time to leave or throw him out.

He's proposing a semi-open relationship. It's a great deal if you can get it.

Yeah but so few of us do, or one partner gets jellous. It happened with my wife and I. She was working away from home alot and struck up a friendship with a coworker which turned into relationship. She came back and explained what was going on and after I'd cooled off she suggested that I do the same and helped me find an FRB but after six months or so she started getting a bit possessive and I decided to rescue the marriage rather than the relationship. Although we are still friends so that's something.

As a polyam man, with multiple partners (wife, gf, submissive gf).... this dude needs a reality check. Polyamory is ABOUT the development of multiple emotional relationships, not about the sex (which it's pretty awesome). It sounds like there's a load of research to be done, and some emotional maturation. Good luck.
