This video came up in my YouTube feed. This married lesbian couple has added a third partner. She is also in a straight marriage with a guy.

On paper, I support them. But when I watched the video, I was surprised that it brought up some yucky feelings. I am probably just jealous to see three impossibly-good-looking girls together. Hard to say for sure though, emotions kinda suck sometimes.

What are your thoughts?

I dont understand why someone would wanna be in a romantic relationship with more than one person.. like polygamous and open relationships...

And i know i'll get hate for this

But if you need to be with others while you are in a relationship then the person you are with aint the one for you. Plus someone always gets hurt in the end..

@SimplyMeChantou Oftentimes a favoritism situation occurs and the whole dynamic implodes.

@SimplyMeChantou The people I've seen who are in functional polyamorous relationships say that is the exact strength of polyamory. You don't have to find that one person to try to be your all-in-all. Maybe you love romantic movies but your partner doesn't like that sort of thing. You can find a different partner to fill that need. Or maybe you want a relationship but you can't be as emotionally-available as your partner needs. They can fill that need with another partner.

Please note that polyamory is different from polygamy. Polygamy is where a man has multiple wives. Polyamory is where some or all parties have more than one partner with everyone's consent. And ideally with a ton of communication.

And no hate. You have every right to feel how you feel. <3
