To the OP, some of what you say makes you sound like a woman scorned. More like you learned a lesson first hand that you are trying to teach to others second hand. A long time ago, I had to come to terms to the fact that not everyone has the same moral code that I do. In some ways, it still comes up. A lot of folks don't understand that there can be morals and poly in the same mix. Some can't wrap themselves around the idea that, just because a person is poly, doesn't necessarily mean that they cheat. Just because a person has specific guidelines for themselves and their own relationships, doesn't mean they can't be involved with more than one person. I'm not trying to be the poster gal for poly by any means. I can tell you only that I have a husband and I also have a sub. We have a functioning triad that works for U/us. My husband also has a sub, but he's learning about the lifestyle, so I don't see that as much of anything. At this point, she isn't nearly considered a member of Our poly household as My boy is. My submissive also happens to be married to a woman who has knowledge of what W/we share, but isn't involved. No one (including Myself as HOH) is permitted relationships outside of O/our poly family. That, I would consider cheating. Being secretive or non-disclosing about the same is an equal in My eyes. Some of U/us who are poly don't tolerate such things in the same way many monogomous folks do. Personally, I do see honesty as a cornerstone in these things. It has more to do with the truth than how many people are actively involved in a person's life. Dishonesty for Me is a greater infraction than play or even sex. Of course, that's just My own personal opinion.
