I appreciate the sentiment and sending love. Sorry if I came off a bit bristly.

A few bits of clarification:

  • Polyamory is not polygamy, please use the right language.
  • I don't think it's fair to say I can't find satisfaction in poly relationships. There are many axes in which I am very satisfied with my relationships. It's just that all of my needs aren't being met, which is extremely common in monogamous relationships as well. I was mostly venting about that in my original comment.
  • I have regular conversations with all of my partners, they're well aware of how I feel and all very supportive.
  • I appreciate that you're attempting to help. I get the feeling, however, that you're not super well versed in what being poly entails or the misconceptions that mono folks often have (not to mention outright bigotry in some cases) about being poly.

I'm never opposed to recommendations. What books have captured your interest as of late?
