[quote=Anonymous]I have a hard time believing that neither she nor her partners realized that writing/speaking about this relationship the way she has would cause many people to question whether this is something she even wants and whether it's healthy.

She could have written an essay about her relationship as it is now, with the same positive take as in her recent blog post, and I'm sure some people would have been critical (because they would be critical about any non-hetero, non-monogamous relationship) but no one would be like "Free Lindy!"

It's very obvious that the only discourse is focused on how she describes this polyamorous situation starting, and how she didn't want it, and how they almost broke up over it multiple times, and how he started seeing this other woman without telling her, and how she cried and was torn up about it for a very long time. Like how do you read that and then get to the part where she's like "but then I decided to try it out and it's great" and not question it?

It would be weird if people didn't think there were red flags here.[/quote]
