The way it works is like this.Im in a Polyamourous relationship with my guyfriend of 2 years. Hes told me over and over I can date who I want I have complete freedom in this friendship, were not in love never will be just friends with benefits and its sexually equal. Until the last year. Ive been dating only him, because I spend the night every weekend with him and have alot of physical problems dont have the time and energy to go out with anyone else or get involved with anyone else, therefore 100 percent of all my socializing has been through him.
He on the other hand goes out with other women, usually none of his relationships with other women but anyways he goes out with other women and goes and socializes and gets recreation through a bunch of other singles groups through meetup.com goups many I cant go to because Im the wrong age and dont fit in with his groups.Then when it comes to holidays and things like our winter holidays he likes me to do things like go to church with him and basically act as his wife, hes a master for a DandD game. I cant stand DandD I think its boring but yet because he wants me to support him as a couple a girlfriend; He wants me to go anyways and learn the game anyways to support him giving up my interests to get involved with his. He likes to go to my family holidays and be a member of my family for holidays ,have me act the wifey part at church with him. Then when we went to his bar where he plays at one of his guyfriends showed me around the other day flirted with me spent time talking to me, and all of a sudden when he came to take a break with me he introduced me to some of his friends as his girlfriend. To me it seems like he got jealous and possesive on the spot. Ive already talked all this over with him he completely denies it all together he says im completely free to see whoever I want. Now he reads beliefnet sometimes and if he reads this he shouldnt get mad,I havnt broken up with him Im giving him a chance to prove me wrong I hope he does I hope he makes a fool out of me. Anyways the point is I dont believe in the type of polyamourous relationship I have with him anymore,Ive decided to cut us back to only going out twice a month and me going out with other guys and joining other singles groups. Im looking around at other men now. The things of it is to me a relationship in Polyamoury where the man gets to go out with anyone he wants and the woman stays true to him is really just coming offas really sexist to me tobecontinued |

Not only is it an easy copout for a guy to be able to have a relationship with a woman where the woman plays the role of the wife and has no freedom while he gets to run around behind her back and have sex and then call it an equal polyamourous relationship ; But also he gets the benefit of a marriage. In a marriage theres a sense of peace belonging at home, a family life having the support of your wifey, things like me giving up my interests to play DandD to support him.To me thats a thing a wife does thats him getting the benefits of a marriage without marrying me,him being able to go out and and do what he wants to have sex with others while I play the role of June Cleaver Nope not gonna work for me. But marriage for alot of people is a way a cheap way of also obtaining sense of peace that comes from spirituality as well, a good sense of well being coming from the idea that you have a home and family to go home to , a sense of security someone to talk over things too someone to make you look good at church to make you look like a family man even though your not its a big copout. Im not doing it anymore. Im no longer comfortable in a polyamourous relationship where i play the role of the wifey and I get to not have freedom of seeing other people and Im not married and he goes out and does whatever he wants. The only way Ill go through with that is if the guy wants to marry me and be financially responsible for me but my guyfriend isnt financially responsible in any way shape or form infact he hasnt spent any money on mne lately either.So thats the end of it, I no longer show up with him as a couple anymore for him to have that benefit he needs to have me move in with him or marry me or be monogamous.
So this is how it is my new rules for Polyamoury. Either were both monogamous or if were both polymourous then we both get to go out and join our own groups and see other people and have sex with other people,and no showing up at church or family functions as a couple,;Either or Ill be willing to stay monogamous while hes polyamourous and be his family but only in a marriage situation,Id consider it if he were able to be completely financially responsible for me all together is really financially secure Ill consider it. Thats my new rules, but on the topic of sexism, I can see now where polyamoury can quickly become sexist. |
