There was a "married" couple that wrote a book about how wonderful open relationships are. They ended up getting a divorce.

Found the author's about me page which allows comments. Somebody asked: "are you Jewish?"

Her reply: "Dr. Elisabeth Sheff, PhD, CASA, CSE December 16, 2019 at 11:42 am12 REPLY Kind of. My father was Jewish which means some reform Jews would count me as a Jew, but because my mother is not Jewish that means I am not a real Jew in the eyes of conservative or orthodox Jews."

I’ve some some boards on Reddit where people complain that their significant other, often a spouse, leaves them for another person…but the kicker is that they were in “open marriages/relationships” to begin with.

So they’re complaining that the natural result of their choices finally manifests..all the while acting as if it’s not a natural result of their choices…and then acting perplexed when anyone points out the obvious to them.

It’s some of the most backwards and retarded shit I’ve ever seen in my life.

And even on Reddit, most replies to these people were the equivalent of “play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”

Which was heartening to see, because even many or most of the liberal ‘tards on those Reddit boards could easily see that polyamory doesn’t work if you want to have an actual relationship.

Of course, all it will take is some focused propaganda to wipe away whatever common sense any of them still retain. So like, if Bill Nye or Professor Space Nig or any other one of their stupid heroes simply says “polyamory is good and you have to believe me because I have _______ credentials and I’m on the news”, they’ll suddenly latch on and believe it.

“When nothing else is stable, why should relationships remain static?”

What that question implies is just fucking stupid.

First of all, this article falsely presumes that in the modern day, nothing is stable whereas things used to be stable.

Things have always been chaotic. Today is actually less chaotic than the majority of prior human history. If it seems more chaotic, that’s because the populace is being programmed to believe (and thus manifest) such a thing.

Secondly, and this is most important, the idea that “because there’s chaos in life, let’s just make everything chaotic” is literally one of the most moronic things I’ve ever heard or read.

Stability (ie, order) is what you want to offset the chaos (instability) of things which you have no control over.

The entire article is based on such a dumb fucking premise that I can’t even believe the author has managed to stay alive long enough to have written it.

It’s like saying “I got an infection in my hand so therefore I need to make sure to get my entire body infected.”

Literal retard-tier shit.

People act though this sort of thing has no affect on the psyche or the ability to have a normal relationship later in life. Surprise: it does.
