More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory by Eve Rickert, Franklin Veaux
1.0
It’s a book written by an abusive man using tactics that helped him abuse his partners. Is that really something you think would be helpful for you as you navigate relationships?
In the book you have several instances where any expectations of reliability or accountability are treated as moral failings on part of the person expecting them. Which was essentially the thing that his former partners claim he "weaponized" for gaslighting. Readers are encouraged to push though uncomfortable and painful feelings, if not there’s something wrong with them and they’re not really poly
It’s also clear the authors frown on any other relationship type other than their own. Even though polyamory is not inherently more enlightened or progressive, especially with the author using it to abuse women
