    If people want to practice polyamory I suppose that’s their business. I personally have known a lot of people who turned their lives upside down to be in polyamorous relationships and they generally always fall apart over jealousy. One person always ends up feeling left out usually.

    If you want that and you can make it work though then more power to you!

      I guarantee you know more monogamous people who have lost their relationships to jealousy.

      This isn’t a polyamory issue

      I think it’s different for bi people maybe, but I can say everyone i know who has done it has broken up.

        Me and my two boyfriends are bisexual. We have been on a long distance relationship for almost 2 years and there never was a issue with jealousy between us. We are a family. We love each other and all we want is to stay with each other.

          I’ve been with my wife for 5 years and have been poly from the start. My gf and I have been together for nearly as long and her and my wife get along as do I and her husband

        I had a roommate who was bi and he moved like 4 states away to be in a poly relationship with like 5 other people and he moved into their house with them and everything. I saw an update from him that they had broken up and he was moving again like 3 months after that! It honestly just sounds exhausting

          That’s not a poly problem, it is a possibility in any long distance relationship.
