I ask my SOs that kind of question. We're bi polyamorous sluts.

Bit of a difference when you're in some sort of open relationship. I was more thinking maybe closeted cuckquean but even then it'd be a stupid thing to do.

Why does everyone in straight society act like closed relationships are normal and have to make an exception for poly relationships? That's so weird.

Also I'm not in an open relationship if you think open relationship means what I think it means.

Statistics, original meaning of a romantic relationship?

It's been called open marriage or open relationship for a reason. Because the default assumption was it's not. There's even that weird term "cheating".

Everyone acts like monogamous relationships are normal because they are. And polyamorous relationships are an exception. You'll have to deal with it.

They shouldn't. Lots of people don't even know polyamoury is an option, and they're groomed from early childhood to understand relationships as exclusive and to get jealous. That's a toxic culture. It's okay to have complicated and difficult feelings, that's part of being human, but it's not okay to pressure children into sharing those feelings as they get older.

Because that’s the social and societal norm. Regardless of how progressive a lot of the issues have been/are.
