I’ve never met a person in a poly relationship where I didn’t wonder “how did this person get even one person to sleep with them, let alone two”

And so do many women.

Nope. It takes a lot of maturity and self understanding to navigate non-monogamy responsibly.

IME, the majority of people I’ve known who crow that they are doing non-monogamy “responsibly” are actually very clearly doing that within a relationship where it’s pretty obvious the person with whom they’re “negotiating non-monogamy” with isn‘t happy but just doesn’t have enough power to say no or to be able negotiate for their needs.

Color me not impressed with that kind of “consent”.
