    My dad once joked about getting a second wife like in Biblical times.

    My mother replied, “good, I’ll finally have someone help with the chores around here.”

    If you can make it work with one other person and have a fulfilling, understanding and well-communicated relationship that gives you both a feeling of reward and healthy challenge to achieving goals for both of you, you have accomplished one of the most challenging aspects of life. It’s very hard to share and open your life with another person, that person also has to be on-board with the same goals and plans. It can take a lifetime to really fine-tune a good monogamous relationship to the point that you’re both functioning smoothly with each other.

    And if you can do this with TWO other people, and those people ALSO can do this, that’s not just an accomplishment, that’s a sign you should probably buy some lottery tickets, or you’re actually the protagonist in a generic anime or manga and you don’t need to worry about the girls because some kind of space monster is probably going to try to kill you.

      Yes, but also some of polyamory is that not every relationship has to be “we cohabit and have kids and can deal with every single little quietly annoying thing the other does”. Some relationships are focused on sex. Some are focused on breaking into aquariums together. Some are with people across the country and even though you are close it doesn’t make sense to get together more than once a year. Although polyamorous relationships can look like monogamy*2, part of the point is that more focused, smaller relationships can also be romantic.

    There’s got to be a more inclusive way for 3+ people to hug. Maybe it’s my monogamous brain, but this just looks like a third wheel

        That’s fine. Garlic burns really easy. You shouldn’t add it until 30 seconds before you add your tomatoes, or stock, or whatever your main watery components are going to be.
