As a polyamorous tURGIDchad in a nonmonogamous relationship

Don't take this as a harsh criticism of your character. More as something to think about. It's not something that everybody in society really thinks about because monogamy is considered the norm. So here are some questions you should spend a little time reflecting on.

That perhaps you have some kind of insecurity issue? You're afraid of people leaving you so you want to lock them up in some kind of emotional commitment dungeons so that they cannot escape? You're afraid that somebody you supposedly care about will enjoy the company of somebody else more than you and for that reason you don't want them to experience that enjoyment?

I agree that it's tough to come to terms with because of how engrained monogamy is in western culture. But once you see polyamory as the opportunity for everybody to pursue happiness then it makes a lot more sense. Without the formal construct of a "relationship" with a beginning and end and all it's commitments it all makes sense. It mirrors reality where no relationship is ever really over.
