If you tell people you are in an open/poly relationship, but your partner doesn’t know about that, you are not in an open/poly relationship; you are just a lying, cheating asshole.
Real poly relationships have a bad reputation mostly because of people like that.

There are lots of people that have been pressured or coerced into poly relationships too (in regards to the bad rep, I mean). “Polybombing” I think that’s called?
But thats just shitheads being shitheads. Some people will use any avenue available to them. Despite that, while I am not the type for it, I do love and respect a number of people who are polyamorous and do think the concept is beautiful in a way that I find unaccessible and ill-suited to my personal needs, but beautiful no less. At least two of those people have even made it work too lol
