People might feel great being polyamorous and the fact is it is really great, however, there are a few downsides which people had to deal while being polyamorous.
Here are few issues discussed by anonymous people:
Inequality
“My wife has so many more lovers than I do.”
Emotionally draining
“Sometimes I have to spend the night reassuring and communicating with one partner and have to do the same the next night with my other partner.”
Lies
“I’m poly and fell for another poly dude. But it turned out that he had a girlfriend and was just cheating on her. But I still love him.”
Secrets
“I’m into the poly lifestyle, but my boyfriend isn’t.”
Changing your mind
“I feel so unloved and alone.”
Judgement
“I feel like my friends and family will think less of me if I tell them about my relationships.”
Misconceptions
“Other potential lovers think I won’t care about them because I have a boyfriend.”
“Sometimes I feel like my husband will replace me.”
Getting attached
“It’s hard not to get emotionally attached to other men that I’m dating.”
Boredom
“Not that I get jealous of the relationship, but when my partner is out on a date, I feel bad for myself for just watching Netflix.”
Losing friendships
“I don’t know how to invite a friend to have sex with me and my SO without scaring her and losing her.”
Being in love
“I have a girlfriend, but I’m also in love with other people…”
Not changing
“People think I will change my mind if I find ‘the right’ person to settle down with.’”
“Often it’s hard to flirt and I feel like I have to mention my girlfriend and they will become disinterested.”
