Status Updates From Polyamory: The New Love Wit...

Most of the long term marriages I'd observed in my parents' generation seemed to go on automatic pilot after a few years [which] didn't appeal at all.

Most of you are jealous & possessive in your love. When your love turns to possessiveness it makes demands. The demands then alienate the loved one and you incorporate anger & fear into the relationship. With these come bitterness & aggression, & whether we speak of individual love relationships or global interactions, what you call love, but is in fact ownership and manipulation, takes over & the problems then flow.

Thought that because this book was older, it wouldn't have as much useful information. But man, just the first quote in the chapter makes you want to stop and think about what love truly is.

Still an interesting read, and informative for others seeking this path. Not nessicarily the lifestyle I want, but will say it has inspiried me to be more open within any relationship I have (regardless if it's a friendship or something otherwise).

It's been an interesting read so far. I will say, a fair amount of it is "common sense", as in if you were to be open and/or inclined to be polyamorous, but probably wouldn't have thought of on my own with out some sort of input/stimulus (like this book).
