once in a while I read something poly people write and go "wow that sounds like so much work", I've got nothing against polyamory but I wish I had the energy reserves you haveMy spouse and I talked about poly early in our relationship, and our conclusion was "keeping up one romantic relationship is enough effort as it is, let's just do this." We have poly friends who make it with, but goddamn, the logistics.

My partner and I have tried polyamory a few times, when meds and health issues led to wildly differing sex drives, but every time it has ended up fizzling out because all the vetting and scheduling and communication really is exhausting. We've gotten some funny stories out of it but it was too much work for the benefits.
