It's unfortunate that so many non-polyamorous people are led to think that #polyamory means constant drama and inevitable emotional hurt.

I get how this happens. Most mentions of polyamory you'll stumble upon as a monoamorous person happen to be negative: drama, jealousy, convoluted breakups, or people abusing poly vocabulary to justify cheating or to try and rekindle a failing relationship. No wonder people think polyamory is something for serial cheaters and drama queens.

The thing one needs to realise is that most mentions of any relationship model are negative. Who posts that they're just happy living their life?

Most relationship-related content in general is going to be about breakups, drama, abuse; because they're looking for advice, to vent, or tell an interesting story. That isn't unique to polyamory. But because monoamorous people notice stories involving polyamory and they don't notice monoamory stories since that's the 'default', the stigma sticks around.

So, I'm thinking I should post something positive to balance it out.

I love being poly! I have been in polyamorous relationships throughout my life and I couldn't imagine life without it. It caused my exes, my current partners and me no hurt and no drama to be poly. There is no bad blood between me and any ex, and we're all friends or distant pals. Polyamory works way better than monoamory for me, and in my experience there is way more drama in mono relationships than in poly ones.

AI didn't fill the world with paper clips; it filled the world with AI and it figured out that the easiest way to do it was to convince humans they would become rich by filling the world with AI.
