Mod Note: This thread is almost 10 years old and the person you're responding to hasn't logged into the site since 2015, so I wouldn't hold my breath for a response from them.That's ignorant, in my opinion. It's also said insensitively and dismissive of this person's lived experience. I thought poly people were supposed to be more advanced communicators, due to the effort you need to put in to have clear, concise communication between all partners. If you have no compassion and empathy, I don't know how you do it.
