It's always particularly unnerving to me when I discover horrible things like this that happened on my birthday, but this takes this cake. She was celebrating that day, too. At first.

You can abstain from a relationship for no reason at all. I'm pretty sure you can also be in a relationship, with or without sex, for no reason at all, too.

That is why it confused me, because often they aren't chosen by anyone in particular, it's just asserted that they are chosen. To me it usually feels like a soft fourth wall break... chosen by the author, obviously.

Thank you! The bit about authority hadn't occurred to me, that makes much more sense.

Cheating on your partner is an ethical issue. If a polyamorous person wants to be in a relationship with a monogamous person, they either let it go or choose not to sleep with other people, don't they? When a monogamous relationship matures, like any other mature relationship, it loses the initial excitement of infatuation, but that doesn't change the boundaries of cheating. You might not flirt with each other anymore for precisely this reason, but that doesn't mean your partner has to let you flirt with other people. Like I said, it's not magical. There is nothing inherently healthy or unhealthy about it.

Well, that's very ignorant. Sex isn't magical, you can abstain from it for no reason at all, just like anything else. There are people who like the taste of meat, and choose not to eat it.

Yes, that's a thing people do, without being polyamorous. You don't have to be asexual to choose not to have sex, if people do it for religious reasons then surely you can understand how people do it for the person they love?
