Do you also want a relationship like Rudeus? (SPOILER episode 11)

Supercars. I’m too old now for that shenanigans 😂

The right question here:


- Do you also want a relationship like Sylphie, but in a "One girl x Two (or more) Guys" version?


Say, hypocrites.

No. It’s fantasy. I’m in a 35 year monogamous marriage, too late now to impose something so destabilising on our relationship. If it happened at the start and we both wanted it, maybe. But not in my real life.

@Zarutaku That's not love, that's just lust. Sharing your genuine feelings with more than 1 person is impossible, that's just not how humans are programmed. Polygamy does not work in any countries that have implemented it, there's always conflict in those kinds of relationships, more so than in monogamous relationships. Besides as I said it goes against human nature and basic instincts.

What if there weren't any significant trouble because everyone involved is sufficiently satisfied with the relationship?

@Zarutaku that can only work in a fairytale, like snow-white and 7 gnomes or some shit xD

Writing other people with a different view off as "monogamous conformists" is a bit crazy LMAO. But not a chance for my life personally.

Polyamory (agreeing for you guys to have more than one other intimate partner) and Polygamy (having multiple spouses) are both considered unconventional and uncommon practices. However, I wouldn't say polyamorous behaviors are inherently wrong. Love is complicated, and polyamorous relationships work for specific folk with clear consent and active involvement from all parties. Hell, I know people who are polyamorous. However, they require far more work and communication from multiple parties. That is an agency that I, and many other humans, don't have. Don't let indulgent anime fiction fool you. It is not as great as you think to manage a "harem".

Several works of fiction make romantic relationships already hella idealized without factoring in 3 big important things of relationships: action, communication, and compromise. Several relationships constantly fail for these reasons being unattributed. "Now that you're together, the challenge now is to avoid breaking up" is a hella powerful quote I heard from a manga once. If countless humans struggle to manage a partner, let alone a spouse, and end up breaking up as a result, imagine the difficulty in managing multiple at once. You now have more factors to consider.

Look outside of fiction. Would those same partners feel completely secure with you "sharing the love"? How many "polyamorous relationship downfall" videos have y'all seen cus I've seen enough. Look at the receiving end perspective. Would you easily allow your partner to have other guys/girls on the side? Now that your partner is "sharing the love", it likely feels completely different. This situation becomes far too idealistic when you look outside the "harem protagonist" lens. They CAN work, but they require a lot of work.

However, fiction is fiction. MT will attempt to work the polygamy to keep the fantasy alive for viewers in tow. Don't expect that to be perfect in reality though.
