Default Involved with a loser?

Had a friend post a link to this on Facebook while stating it was painful for him to read--I suspect his current relationship involves him tolerating some dysfunctional behavior from his partner (hell, I know it does).

The PhD who wrote this is a not a good writer--his abuse of pronouns caused me pain--though he seems to have experience with lots of patients who have survived relationships with losers.

While polyamory, open relationships, and swinging are all distinctly different approaches to non-monogamy, they are not mutually exlusive. Folks can, and some do, engage in more than one of them at a time--and it's all good.

Very helpful, and certainly relevant to many people. I have been in such a relationship myself, and it was a nightmare to get out of. That was many years ago, but the article is no less relevant today because in poly there could always be new relationships around the corner.

Thanks, SeventhCrow
