When Two Wives Meet...

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

No slut shaming please.
What does it matter how many partners someone has?
If they are not lying to anyone, not sneaking around behind anyone's back and not hurting anyone, the Maths really doesn't matter a jot.

There is so much individual insecurity about people who poke their noses and judge what others should be happy with. Everywhere one looks there is a cocktail of herd mentality and jealosy. “We cannot afford to be non-conformant and to not care what others think, and you should be like us.”

I am designed that way, you may not be - but millions of people are.
What do you mean - it always shows?

I supported my ex and his girlfriend so he had a tremendous amount to gain - he had me to provide for him, and he had her for other stuff.
The wonderful thing about polyamory is that there isn't the pressure to be someone's whole world - you don't have to be perfect.
If there is something they need that you can't provide, they are free to pursue that.
It sounds so perfect....

So why was it a past tense thing?

I’m confused by the whole notion.

I’m confused by the whole notion.
My ex and I were together for eight years, for two of those we had a mutual girlfriend, many forum members from SNV were very used to seeing the three of us together as a ''throuple.''

Then he met someone else who is not polyamorous or bisexual or a very nice person.
She did everything she could to push me out. I was paying the rent on their apartment and all other living expenses and she couldn't be mature enough to be polite to me.
By the end, his sense of entitlement far exceeded my income. He was verbally and financially abusive and I decided I'd rather be alone than deal with his shit.

I am, and always will be polyamorous though.
Anyone entering my life knows the score, it's their choice to stay or go.
