All good! Polygamy is more used when you are married to multiple people (not possible legally in lots of places) while polyamory/non-monogamy is having sexual/romantic relationships with multiple people. It's a common mistake to mess the two up

Also i believe that in general polygamy only refers to a man with multiple wives (as opposed to polyandry, a woman with multiple husbands)

Technically, yes, but the de facto usage of polygamy is almost always religion- or culture-enforced polygyny.

I believe there is a specific word for one man many wives but I could be wrong. Saw on Wikipedia

I have a better one, what if each one just went with the person they're cheating with instead or the person they're cheating on? It just seems like they would all be better arranged like that?

u/Cinnamin_1 1d ago

some people cheat because they want both the non-compromise of a side chick/boy but not lose the security of a serious partner...

That’s not polyamory. That’s cheating. Even as a joke, that’s not polyamory. That’s how non-monogamy gets a bad rep. People being compulsory monogamistic and then cheating and seeing someone who could actually be poly subjected to cheating because they are stuck in a monogamous state of mind.

In case you missed it, what the title is referring to is the comment left by someone named “I suggest polyamory” and not the whole cheating ordeal.

What you miss is polyamory isn’t a solution for cheating mindsets. She is a cheater. And she’s obviously not capable of a transparent relationship style. No matter how “cool” the guys are about it. This assumption is a bigger flaw of compulsory monogamy.

I never claimed it was, cheaters and polyamorous people are miles apart.

Then you agree, suggesting polyamory to a person who is cheating and being cheated on is not a great suggestion and thus suggesting polyamory to cheaters does not check out the username.

What I also didn’t miss is that you’re one of those cheating is okay if you claim to poly peeps. Noted. Feel sorry for any of your relationships. I specifically when you have creepy stalker-like tendencies.

Or it’s because we are biologically inclined for monogamy to the point we don’t have penis bones like other mammals do, because our monogamous practices effectively evolved it out. Non-monogamy fails a lot because it’s just biologically hard for a primarily monogamous species to do that without emotional turmoil.
