Apologies for website downages. Working on it, hopefully will be on a new server in the next few weeks.
Mind you, this is NOT a healthy ethical display of polyamory. I know some people who do it and communicate well with one another and it works well for them. So, I’m not slamming polyamory here, I’m slamming Nick. 🙂

Still sitting in the gazebo, Audri still shrouded in a blanket, Audri said, “‘polyamory’? I’m… philosophically fine with it.” Nick said, “Well, the thing is, I have so much love to give that I’ve also been sleeping with Anna…” Audri said, “Wait. I said I’m only philosophically fine with it. But me, I only have love for you.” Charmed by this, Nick said, “And I think that’s beautiful. I don’t want to change that.” Audri said, “But you also want to date Anna.” Unsure, Nick said, “If that’s okay with you.” Annoyed, Audri said, “Sounds like you’re doing it even if it’s not okay with me.” Nick said, “Why are you hiding, by the way. Can’t I see your face? You know I’d love you whatever happened to you, whatever you look like.” Excited, Audri said, “I knew it. I told Val you’d love me no matter what.” Nick said, “Of course I will. Even if I couldn’t stomach looking at you, I’d still love you.” Audri said, “Okay. let’s revisit that point later on in this conversation.”

Nick is a jerk. Run away Audri.
Sounds like a hippie lapsed into misanthropy, to me. I laughed.
.
“I just want to be your… centaur of attention…”
“Why are you saying it like that?”
“Let’s revisit that later, too.”
This isn’t going to end well is it …
It began poorly and is middling badly, why expect it to end well?
Panel 4: did Nick just manage a save?
Panel 6: alright no, he didn’t.
With regards to the disclaimer about Nick’s “polyamory” vs properly handled polyamory, I have never met a polycule (or if I have, they haven’t let me know), and even I can see that he’s doing a terrible job at it – at the very least, communication has to come first, otherwise it’s just cheating.
Also, it has to be ok for everybody involved, not just for one entitled jerk.
Absolutely, but if communication does come first, someone isn’t alright with it, and then it still happens, I believe that’s called a messy breakup.
Yeah, it sounds like Nick just wants to sleep around.
He just sees the Polyamory concept as a way to say his bad behavior is somehow not bad.
Yes, Nick needs slamming. Upside his head. With a 2×4.
Anguish and dislocation versus trepidation and misplaced, possibly missing feelings. No, sorry, Nick, Audri’s got you beat all hollow. You’re lucky not to get a handbell dirge from her at this point.
And I too have polyamorous friends. This isn’t what they’re like, at all, at all. Nick deserves whatever he gets, including a pummelling by handbell.
Poly what? Some type of plastic. Right? Just like ciao is Italian for food?
Hey, it’s that guy who I think might be a former client of the same doctor. Forgot he’s Audri’s partner.
