This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think atro's point is that non-ethical polyamory can exist. It shouldn't be done, but can, and is still a type of polyamory.

I mean, yeah you can do polyamory in an unethical way. But it isn't really polyamory if the poly part is a secret to the people involved.

I guess the way I'm thinking about it is that just because the third party doesn't know it's poly, doesn't mean it isn't poly to the people in the primary couple. It's unethical and dishonest, but it is a situation where some of the people involved are being non-monogamous.
