[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm single. I went through a period where I dated mostly men in open marriages. They were all pretentious AF and, though each of their primary relationships and situations was very different, they all seemed exhausting. [/quote]

These threads pop up on here periodically but my feeling is always the same. I've known a number of open marriages and people who are committed to polyamory, and they are universally exhausting people. In different ways, but across the board. I don't know if they are high maintenance people in general and being polyamorous is part of that (like maybe they need more attention/love/affection and can't get it all from one person), or if being polyamorous and the attendant logistical challenges it poses just makes them into kind of tedious, high-maintenance people. Like when a longtime friend gets obsessed with doing triathlons and eating paleo and it becomes all they talk about and dictates how you interact with them. Either way, the poly/open marriage people I know are among my highest maintenance friends.[/quote]
