Yeah dunno why people get all frisky about polyamory and whether people accept it or not. Technically it's been sanctioned by society for a very long time. Mormons practiced polygamy for a long time until they were forced not to. I'm actually not entirely sure why it's not more widely accepted other than the roots of treating women like property.
I'd argue that is because men have always been seen as superior and women as property. It's easier for men to have multiple wives and other men are seen as competition. If they were to "share" a woman with other men, then they would definitely be called cucks.
Personally I am all for the idea IRL, but it does have its problems practically. For example, there may be instances where two people like each other a lot and then also you, but not as much as each other. So that can make you feel kind of jealous and lonely I imagine. Poly probably works best with at least one person being asexual, or not very attached to romantic feelings. Or sometimes the third person comes in, and then suddenly the person you like a lot likes someone else a lot more.
Jealousy works differently for polyamorous people. When you're in a committed relationship, there is no "liking someone more" because you care equally about the people you're with. Funny thing also, when polyamorous people see their partners together (or with their metamours), they experience the opposite of jealousy - it's called compersion. It's a sort of happy feeling where you feel loved.
Sincerely, a bi polyamorous asexual.
