Default Re: Polyamory - a passing fancy or a new trend?

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.
I think this issue/problem has always existed. We'll see more people entering into non-monogamous arrangements because of the trend (the trend to me being Swingtown and far more media about swinging and poly and open marraiges in general), but my guess is the actual percentage entering for the wrong reason will not be terribly different. But I guess we'll never truly know the real numbers for any particular condition.
