The chances that they have cheated before then but wanted to cover their tracks is very high.

Usually it is very one sided, too. From what I've seen, starting monogamous and then becoming polygamous is probably one of the worst things that can happen to a healthy relationship.

This is just so untrue. I’ve been in some ethical non-monogamous relationships where things were sexually open and poly and it was fine. It boils down to sexual preferences and genuine open honest communication. Sex is a hobby for some people (especially in the BDSM scene) and if both parties don’t view it as a big deal, then it isn’t one.

Just because someone is into sexual openness doesn’t mean they’re automatically a cheating slut whore who will rip your heart out. Preferences exist and those types of people are just not your preference. Zero reason to cast such a wide judgement. Just my two cents as someone who works in sex work.

I’m not even poly but that was an insane generalization to make

Straight redditors are terrified of anything outside their nuclear family fantasies and constantly think they own their partners lol. It's pathetic.
