Ten Reasons...

not to be poly...

1) You have to look at the anguish in your secondary partner's eyes when he discusses how you can never be His primary partner
2) Each of your partners may get alternating weeks of alone time, but you are never 'single'
3) You have twice as many people to please
4) You have to juggle 3 schedules
5) You have to work through the jealousy of your secondary wanting to find a 'primary' to present to the rest of the world as His girlfriend because there's always the possibility of my primary relationship becoming known
6) You have to work through the guilt of even momentarily wanting to deny your secondary a primary partner
7) You live in constant fear of your two partners talking and collaborating to find new and terrifying ways to molest and torture you (wait.. is this on the right list?)
8) You risk the judgement of others, and strange looks from who can not grasp the idea that the heart is capable of loving more than one person romantically at the same time
9) Twice the partners, twice the opportunity for heartbreak and misunderstanding
10) You can never keep both of their photos on your desk at work without all sorts of questions you can't answer.
