The Evils of Polyamory

Okay, maybe evil is too strong a word, but I'm not sure how to describe it. Polyamory is not as easy as Easton and Hardy describe in the Ethical Slut. However, I must confess, I mostly just skimmed over it it. Who has time to read a whole book? Who has time for anything? And that is my first evil of polyamory. It is very time consuming. It is not just the time spent maintaining or enjoying another relationship. Finding another partner is very time consuming. With a household and everything else that needs time there is very little left to pursue relationships.
I can't really blame anybody for my lack of spare time. It is my own fault for over committing myself. I think this all happened back when I was<b> monogamous. </font></b>I had to do something to distract myself from the intoxicating allure of other women. What better way than to bury myself in home renovations?
The second evil has to be the heartache you feel when things don't work out. You need a thick skin to be polyamorous. When you've been<b> monogamous </font></b>for a few years you forget what it is like to be single. When you're not single and dealing with relationship issues it is hard to find a shoulder to cry on.
Maybe I should just hang up my hat and rejoin the<b> monogamous </font></b>crowd. That is easier said than done. Once the genie is out of the bottle, he doesn't go back in. This is what the first swinger couple we met warned us about. Once you start an open marriage it is very hard to stop. And that is my third evil of polyamory. I'd say it is addictive, but I hate seeing that word overused and trivialized.
Don't get me wrong. Despite all the difficulties, I'm glad that my wife and I have undertaken this bold matrimonial experiment. If I had the chance to do it all over, I might not be approaching it with quite the same enthusiasm, but I would still do it.
