Maybe I'm just too cynical for my own good... but does anyone else think that maybe some of the people who are getting into Polyamorous relationships / Swingers / or whatever - are doing so because it's become "trendy" to be non-monogamous??

Not saying that there aren't polyamorous people out there - I've known plenty of them over the years and think it's a wonderful thing.

But I've seen so many people who've gotten into it for the wrong reasons.

Most often, I see people trying to "fix" their broken relationships by adding more partners. Or I see people who find that their relationship isn't working out the way they'd hoped - so instead of breaking up with their first relationship... they simply start a new one and call themselves polyamorous.
