Insightful and true. I've seen some disasters and even been in a couple long before I heard about this book:

I wish I knew about it first, it would have made things a lot easier. For me it was just like "oh that's what you call it," and it's nice there's other people out there like that.

I first realized it was a thing after watching the Oliver Stone movie Savages, although my very first take was that the dudes were tremendous cucks. It took a sec to sink in.

I don't know what you think, but I'm not so sure anyone should ever decide to become poly any more than they should decide to be gay. Most people just aren't. It's not a kink, not hot wifing, not cuckholding. It's not about fucking a bunch of people. It's about loving more than one person, and I'm just a loving guy.

It's about loving more than one person,

I disagree. Marriage is about creating and maintaining a stable and supportive family structure for kids to grow and thrive in. If you don't have kids, why even bother getting married? If you do have kids, the parents should stay committed to, supportive of, and focused on their children and each other (and that includes sexual satisfaction).

A committed life partnership.

By your logic all old or sterile people who can't produce children should get divorced.

A committed life partnership.

How's that working out for you? 50% of marriages end in divorce already. Only costs $150.

By your logic all old or sterile people who can't produce children should get divorced.

If you want to stay together, do. If you don't being married's not going to stop you.
