Too Many Eggs For One Basket?
"You're only polyamorous because you're afraid to put all your eggs in one basket!" I'm not afraid to put all my eggs in one basket. I just don't think my eggs would fit. 🥚🥚🥚🧺
Have you seen the number of eggs I've got right now????? No, but seriously - there's a reason why they tell you not to put all your eggs in one basket. It's important to have multiple significant and intimate connections in one's life, whether it's multiple partners, or one partner and multiple close friends. Being in a monogamous relationship isn't putting all your eggs in one basket, but being in a monogamous relationship where neither of you have a robust support system outside of that is dangerous. Having independent support systems serves everyone and means that no one is suffering under unnecessary pressure to be everything to someone. That's what I mean by "eggs".
