I realized that was monogamy. When you don't have to chose just one person to share you life with you get to decide who you want to share your life with.
In my experience, every single polyamorous relationship I've known of has been led by a pathetic man who thinks he's the best thing ever created, there's always multiple girls, rarely multiple guys and the girls don't really have any of the power in the relationships, although many of them are convinced that isn't the case.
Tl;dr polyamory is for self-centered douchebags with low morality and self-control.
Yikes sorry to hear that. My polycule isn't "led". I'm one of two cis males but we're both bi and aren't romanticly involved. There are no cis women in my polycule but a couple of nonbinary beans. I suppose one of the nonbinary beans makes the financial decisions so they lead in that regard but we mostly have intersecting hobbies. I do have a girlfriend everyone is aware of but she's not really involved in the polycule and only really interested in me.
But the feeling of "I can do better" usually means giving up your current relationship to support the next one. With healthy ethical non-monogamy the polycule tends to help you get the relationships you want to be involved with. But it appears this is just my experience.
Sorry I only know English.
Ok. Good job learning it buddy.
