  1. It doesn't say he's cheating, he could mean in his entire life he had sex with others including men, but now with their mom he doesn't.
  2. If he's still having sex with others, it doesn't have to be cheating. They can have an open relationship or be ~~polygamous~~ polyamorous.
  3. It nowhere says he's still together with their mom.

You're making assumptions.

Edit: spelling mistake.

Just a comment, you've said "Polygamous" where the correct word is "Polyamorous". They are not the same. Polygamy is marriage of multiple partners, often in "sister-wives" situations and often related to patrocentric power expectations in certain smaller religious instituions and cults. Polyamory is a romantic orientation allowing for multiple romantic or sexual partners. While the type of polycule a polyamorous person engages in will vary from person to person, the harem of wives thing doesn't really happen in polyamorous circles.

You are completely correct, I think I made a spelling error and autocorrect changed it to this without me realizing. I'm polyamorous myself :)

Polygamy, polygyny, and polyamory are all separate things, basically

For doing such a close reading on the OP, you really skimped on my comment. Y'know, where I said "on first read" before amending with "but now", meaning I had one assumption but it shifted.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yet you made the assumption, wrote it down, and moved focus on something else instead of saying it doesn't have to be cheating. There's still a statement where you say you think he confessed to cheating, which I think is an assumption which doesn't have to be true, as I explained.

I also don't think it has to be true. That's why I stopped thinking it and thought the other thing.

I'm gonna stop here, m8. You're feeling some type of way, you've taken your own reading of what I wrote, and I'm not interested.
