Poly is the relationship style you enter into if you refuse to compromise anything for the sake of others, or because you're afraid of losing someone you care about more than yourself. I've seen so many poly pride / ask the author / ask the artist style responses that boil down to "Why would you ever settle for not having financial stability, a therapist, and a greek god, in a single partner? Yes, I know I provide none of these things myself but lol I don't have that level of self awareness."
Harems are rarely healthy, but once in awhile, one turns out to be. In my book, it's just like PDFs. Maybe 1 in 1000 isn't traumatic or exploitative of their partners, but the majority of them leave damage a mile deep. If people are secure in their poly and they know they're not like this, I'm **not talking about you** and **you should not be offended.**
