      Lol, I put that last bit there without explanation for the shock value because the people seem to love this. But yes, we were all polyamorous. She was married, I had a girlfriend and a nesting partner, my girlfriend had a boyfriend who had a wife who wanted to date me (I declined because she practiced polyamory unethically), and my nesting partner had a girlfriend.

      The woman I was interested in dating, I knew she didn’t have a whole lot of free time…neither did I truth be told…but I turned her down not because she had other partners and a busy life but because of the way she responded to me. It was basically, “Um, how dare you cancel plans with me after I took an extra morning shift on the day of our date leaving you with only two hours and with you having to do all the driving for over two and a half hours during rush hour traffic!” She was so used to people falling all over her because of how attractive she was, and it was really off-putting.
