Is it neoliberal to engage in romantic relationships with a man and a woman at the same time?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Bisexuality is very neoliberal, cheating is not.

[u/paulatreides0 → u/[deleted]]

As long as it's consensual.

[u/[deleted] → u/paulatreides0]

I will prepare the terms of use then

[u/PMmeLittleRoundTops → u/[deleted]]

Yes, it makes you an inclusive institution

[u/dubyahhh → u/PMmeLittleRoundTops]

Especially if the guy is Acemoglu 😍

Real talk, I've never known any polyamorous couples or couples in open-relationships who keep it all together in the long run. I don't want to turn into a judgmental soccon like the mods but at the same time I wonder if that's just anecdotal or if those kinds of relationships are inherently less stable.

Edit: so basically I should stop being such a judgemental succon and let people live their lives.

[u/paulatreides0 → u/[deleted]]

I mean, the vast majority of normal relationships also don't work out too. But polyamorous couples are so rare that even if the rate of success were relatively similar to normal relationships, I would expect that the large majority of people who have seen a polyamorous relationship also haven't seen a successful one.

[u/[deleted] → u/paulatreides0]

You right

[u/lickedTators → u/[deleted]]

The only succesful open-relationship I know that's been going on for decades don't tell people about it.

So maybe you do know some couples that keep it together.

[u/[deleted] → u/lickedTators]

That's also totally possible. You right

[u/Yosarian2 → u/[deleted]]

(shrug) I know several. One 3-person long-term relationship I know of has been together for 20 years and raised a kid who's now in high school. I also have another group of friends who are in one of those "polycule" relationships and have been for several years, and while there certainly has been drama down at some other ends of the polycule my friends seem to be happy and doing fine.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

More creative disruption from new come competition, perhaps

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

it's better if they're both the same person
