Men Are Not as Polyamorous as They Want Us to Believe
All that talk of “I can sleep with as many women as I want” was just a facade to cover the deep truth.
Yesterday was like any ordinary evening. I jumped on Reddit with the intention of shaking off the boredom. Nothing too deep — just passing time.
But then I stumbled on a post that froze me in place. You ever read something that hits so deep, you physically feel it? That was me.
For clarity, let’s call the couple in the post Lyam and Chandra. What happened between them wasn’t just surprising — it was hauntingly familiar. And it made me question everything about monogamous men.
Lyam, older and charming, was Chandra’s first love. For over three years, their relationship was monogamous and filled with hope for a future together.
But one day, Lyam admitted the spark had faded and suggested opening the relationship to explore polyamory.
Though heartbroken, Chandra agreed, hoping it would reignite their bond.
While Lyam sought new experiences, Chandra unexpectedly met someone else — a kind, attentive man who made her feel seen and cherished in ways Lyam hadn’t.
