When she tells you she is in an open relationship

[puporing]

@integral lol...sorry to hear. That sounds creepy and uncalibrated so I don't blame you. And yes it has nothing to do with being poly in and of itself. You can be low consciousness monogamist or low consciousness polyamorous. Hope that makes sense. 

This is not a justification but to shed understanding, that my guess is when some people finally have the freedom to explore their sexuality/intimacy not just with one guy because they have this need, they have a hard time controlling themselves at first. They could also have been starved too in their existing relationship you never know.

Personally I feel some tragedy in what you say. Ideally it's better to get it out of your system when you're younger. But because we don't actually live in a very liberated society yet these things can sometimes get very delayed.. I hope you can find some empathy for that at least.
