I think this is way off base. It’s easy to make yourself single.
Cheaters either think they will get away with it, or are lying to themselves about what they are doing.
“My partner won’t mind so much.”
“Nothing that feels so right could be wrong.”
“I’m not the kind of person who cheats, so considering the circumstances, this doesn’t really count.”
I think the joke is they want to MAKE themselves single, but also that they ACT like they are single. But yes I’d bet the average cheater is in denial about both sides of this shower thought.
Or wannabe polygamists?
First step to polyamory is consent.
Hence the wannabe qualifier
That’s the difference between polygamy and polyamory
You have to be a special kind of stupid to actually believe that
I always knew I was special.
Polyamory tends to be very focused on consent and the ethics involved. Polygamy tends to be pushed by religion to ensure an unequal power distribution.
What do you have an issue with?
Well, even then, the differences between a paradigm of romance, and a state-supported power-structure… Are not just ‘consent’, now, are they?
If I’ve learned anything from all those documentaries about cults, it’s that the first step to polygamy is identifying a vulnerable population
Polygamy is fucked up
Polyamory is cool
Cheaters tend to be controlling in their relationships. They crave that control, so they don’t actually want to be single. They just want all of the power in the relationship.
