Jesus, two secret families just seems like a lot of work.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Hold on so this guy had three different families at the same time?

What's the fucking point of living three lies

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

That was how middle class boomers did unethical nonmenogamy. Cause like, the secret families probably had hobbies as well. Or they just found people who enjoyed not having a boomer man around as head of household. Thinking about it, that sounds preferable to alot of boomer relationships I hear about

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Imagine being able to provide for your family, let alone two.

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago

Boomers played the game of life on easy mode

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

at that point i think it was a competition

[–] Balefirex@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

Yea I don't even want to live one life

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

Polygamists are something else, man.

[–] IMF_DOOM@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

My ex-uncle had like three or four and ngl he was pretty good at managing it all for decades so no one knew until it suddenly all fell apart five or six years ago

[–] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 56 points 10 months ago (3 children)

What's the point of a polycule if you all live in different places? Damn, that's so much money wasted on rent.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What's the point of a polycule if you all live together?

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Saves on rent and easier access to leftovers. As a polyamorous person myself there is an aspect where you appreciate being part of the destruction of the standard liberal American relationship model as well.

I enjoy my family but I also enjoy being alone

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I enjoy being alone, but I don't enjoy it as much as the 50% of my pay cheque that would otherwise be going to rent

ive been living with my wife for like 20 years i couldnt imagine not having someone in another room i couldnt have a quick adhd stim where i have to run in there and tell them the interesting (to me) thing i just heard real quick like im 5 years old

youd think 20 years of her sighing and pausing her tv show to hear me out (and not be interested in it all) would have driven her away by now but this is our routine and im not changing at this point in my life so

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can relate. For a while I was going literal months without getting an hour (even a minute )alone at the place. Both my roommates finally held some stable work over the holidays and it was amazing.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Did you had your own room at least?

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

Thankfully yes, though I can't always keep it closed because my cat gets nosy, then loses interest, then gets nosy again. I can ride the high I got from having 5 hours to myself last month, but it can be really needling to live with introverts that work part time.

Might plan out a camping trip in the spring just to get away from people.

I can feel the void left by this deleted comment. When I saw it I immediately said, "oh no, not like that" in my head. I am just going to assume we shared the one brain cell for a moment and not actually investigate.

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

I think the bit was better with it deleted

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I don't necessarily want to live with someone I'm dating, at least in the early stages? Not all polycules are super committed relationships, or not everyone in the polycule is ay the same stage.

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

its not my lifestyle but from the few people irl i know who do the poly thing its generally like this there is a primary couple and then like 2 or 3 people who are part of it but those people are a bit more casual it seems... i dunno

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 31 points 10 months ago (1 children)

As an aside there are alot of break up posts getting posted on Tik Tok today over the fires

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why? People dump their partners if they don't have a house anymore?

Hmm, I wouldn't be surprised if it was that

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Alot of relationships can't handle a day's worth of stress or couples see how their counterpart behaves in emergencies for the first time and people get the ick

At least that seems to be the common pattern for the videos I've watched

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

any good ones to share?

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 months ago

This was also true for corona, tons of people suddenly realizing that they can't stand each other if they're together in one place 24/7

[–] NotThatKindOfFedPosting@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

lGPL licensing of your intentionally buggy djikstra implementation to deflect from the fact that yes you did pick favorites

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean, surely you would decide the order based on location and dangerous areas right? Like? If you're the farthest one and you get picked up last that makes sense?

Doesn't seem like that was the situation for her in this case tho based on tone

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, that was my first thought. Triage but for picking people up in the polycule

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

No. Those with the biggest, jiggliest boobs or lowest hanging sacks get picked up first. No exceptions.
