How do polycules breakup? Do they vote you out like among us? Is being poly even good? A relationship between two is always better

No, you retard

i think the problem with poly is when they start swapping and adding new people
relationships are inherently risky and unlikely to last so adding any other people is just multiplying that issue, and you lose the stability of staying with the same people you know

there are probably happy 3/4/5 person relationships somewhere but nobody else would be allowed into those relationships for a reason

A polycule has a half life of about 5 years, but can gain new members over time. However, the half life of a polycule shrinks in half for every member that is introduced that has BPD. The BPD love bombing and then emotional breakdown causes rifts in the group. BPD actually evolved in nature to destroy the polycule, much like the forest fire. to allow the growth of healthier smaller relationships.

Just cheat on each other like normal people

>Is being poly even good?
I know a group that consists of: an adhd engineer, his wife, their kid together, engineer's boyfriend, and EB's long-term girlfriend/basically wife. They really seem happy together and their kid call's EB "uncle [name]". They bought property either together (?) or directly adjacent to one another and their group is closed otherwise. At this point I'm waiting for engineer's boyfriend and EB's gf to get married and have kids of their own. Point is, I think poly can be good if you're shacking up with people that you're already besties with and you're mentally and emotionally stable. The stereotypical poly redditor probably has BPD and is unstable, so even if they were monogamous it would probably be hard for them to maintain relationships. Like monogamy, polyamory can be good and stable or unpleasant and unstable, depends on the people in the relationship.

to me it seems like the lowest form of living like you don't give a fuck so much that you let people walk all over you emotionally and sexually to fit in

So is it also impossible to know which individual will leave next? I guess that introducing a new bpd person is either kind of scattering, but one that actually gets along is like adding more samples of the same isotope.

Usually some combination of iffy rape accusations, and financial collapse. Sometimes a couple splinters off, or ther'es weird furry drama.
>Do they vote you out like among us?
Rarely. Power and committment levels are not equal. It goes cis women and whoever's paying the big part of the rent, in that order, then everyone else.
