I completely agree that polyamory isn't for everyone, especially not for troubled monogamous relationships, though for years we have seen such couples try polyamory and blame it when their relationship crumbles, just as you suggest. Nothing new there, but no reason to encourage it more than it's already happening. <BR/><BR/>Instead I meant to suggest that we all set a good example, be out if possible so as to demonstrate that polyamory is a legitimate relationship option for those who choose it. It's an awareness thing, not an attempt to recruit. By raising awareness we are hopefully able to destigmatize polyamory's image in the mainstream and to let others know that they do have another option besides monogamy.Anita Wagner Illighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07083649751515838086noreply@blogger.com
