Polyamory Fail

I don't really care how long you have been a self proclaimed polyamorist, there are still going to be things that you experience that are just as stupid as what a "new poly" person experiences. One thing I like to tell people who ask me about polyamory is that while yes, it does get easier to navigate the drama, each new person in your life (be they your newest lover, or a new lover of one of your existing partners) brings with them a whole new set of circumstances to figure out. You just think you have it all figured out until someone accidentally gets pregnant, or someone brings a lawsuit.

I'm really sick of the fluffy crap people say when they discuss polyamory. Yes, I think polyamory is superior to monogamy. I could write entire novels (and have considered doing so) about this. However, polyamory is not always easy, and it is not always fun. You won't see me talk about how perfect poly life is here. You also won't seem me teaching "poly101" here.

This blog is a no holds-barred blog about polyamory. I would love to give you poly advice. You can contact me at polyamoryfail@gmail.com and I'll post your questions and answers here. Do not necessarily expect me to be nice.
