Poly rant

Polyamoury. Isn't there *anyone* out there who doesn't compromise their poly nature for a relationship with that one-really-great-amazing-monogamous-person???? Because to me, it's not a choice; FOR me, at least, it is not a choice. I am non-monogamous.

Monogamy and I don't get along. I get bored being monogamous. I get bored with JUST ONE PARTNER even while being technically poly. *insert any disclaimer you want here to not get you, dear reader, mad at this and for you to continue reading with a mind open as, or perhaps more than, at the beginning* And no, I don't want to work on it. I don't want to go to ex-poly camp, thanks.

I was trying to explain the personal tragedy that is the poly people in my life accepting monogamous lifestyles. It happens, over time; it happens. Perhaps overtime it will un-happen, but that is of no comfort right now.

I wish there was someone I admire that was poly and lovin' it. GAH!

Perhaps this will sound super polytical (ha.ha.) but every time a poly-identifying person abandons their label, lifestyle, idenitity etc. for monogamy, it's like we've lost the battle over again. There go ten or more monogamous people wagging their fingers and saying "toldya so," or regaining 'hope' that their partner will eventually become monogamous, or losing understanding of the seriousness of polyamoury - we just haven't grown up yet, we have abandonment issues that *insert the traitor's name here* has finally worked through, good for them! But not for us. Us poly people, we are scum.

Great.
