Oof. This is a bad one -

https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/28/health/polyamorous-relationship-meaning-wellness/index.html

It starts out alright, even though they do a poor job of acknowledging that one person in a relationship can date others independently or that solo poly exists at all. And then, out of nowhere, a couple paragraphs about how poly almost always destroys marriages, before it goes back to a generally non-offensive stuff. It really feels like some editor with feelings demanded they wedge that in. I guess I shouldn't expect much from CNN.

@poly_pockets The word polyamory is so loaded I actually prefer to be called non-monogamist. I feel that it's more about having the freedom (yours and others) to do what you want as a mature consenting adult.

Society tells us to get married and have kids like a mantra, especially for women who's on a time mission before time's out, the hell with consequences at times.

What is something that isn't? How do you define everything else from an angle of someone who can see only one thing?
