I’ve given up entirely on relationships at this point. Anyone who is willing to date a trans guy is “poly” and I am absolutely done with that shit.

Hookups suck but it’s a distraction from how shit the world is.

Perfect! You'll meet your person when you least expect it. There's a big day coming for you.

We need to normalize blaming monogamy for shitty monogamists the way people blame non-monogamy for shitty non-monogamists.

Non-monogamy is the logical extension of unlearning person-ownership, which is objectively good.

Did I shit on poly people at all, or did I express a preference? I don’t want a poly relationship, I want a monogamous relationship, which I think I’m reasonable to want.

Like, that's definitely coffee-house sex philosophy truthiness. But it ignores the desire for someone(s) to come home to and rely on. A relationship is more than just getting off. And monogamy (or committed poly, if that's your vibe) is about building a friendship with the loved one and a community with their social circle.

You don't own your partner any more than you own your parents or your siblings or your closest friends. You just want to be near them regularly, because you love them. And when there's only so many hours in the day, you dedicate yourself to these people because you want a relationship that's deep rather than a series of flings that can only ever be shallow.

Yeah it's not about "ownership", it's a partnership. You can't rely on someone that's also trying to maintain romantic relationships with other people as well.

In no world will anyone convince me to share my person, to whom I don't own.

[-] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com -1 points 2 weeks ago

Well, apparently you do own them, if you think they are yours to share or not share as you choose

It's cool that you're non mono, I probably am too, but people are justified to prefer to be mono regardless of your personal opinions on relationship type
