    It’s funny, because I could imagine most of the girls I have nonmonogamous undefined relationships with having this interaction with me. Except that we would both know that we’re being sarcastic, and many lulz would be had.

    I would assume that is also what is happening here, if I were not far more certain that this was super fake.

      I could see my wife and I having this conversation.

      I remember one infamous New Year’s Eve party when she and another friend confronted me and very pointedly asked if I thought a third friend was hot. I just look at my wife with confusion. I think I even asked “is this a trap?” She smiles and reassures me that, no, this isn’t a trap. So I just say, “Yes! She’s hot!” The third friend immediately collapses and cries. They explained to me that the reason they did this and didn’t give any context is because the third friend was having some self confidence issues and felt ugly. Meanwhile she’s literally in this super amazing dress and absolutely stunning. I’ve always thought she was hot. (My wife and I always talk about who we find attractive, we were never so insecure as to view it as a problem.) So if they told me that before they were worried that I would just say yes to be nice or something.

        That’s fine too. I’m glad you all have have the intimacy to be able to be honest with each other and confront lies about what insecurities are harmful, and need intervention for. I’m glad the 3rd friend was able to confront that insecurity with people they can trust.

        Still, we don’t call each other “bitches,” but something healthier: “cuties.”

        Retrospective:

        spoiler

        Even in my polycule, if I had to intervene with a friend and a partner like this, I’d be upfront with you by saying:

        In order for this experiment to go through blind, I need your earnest opinion without biases and spoiler effects: Do you think this person looks hot?

      I hope so, but “bitch” is not a word I use to describe “flings.” Heck, if I was being sarcastic as gf❤️, I would instead say:

      Ok boo, show me the cutie that taught you how to respond correctly.

      Even then, I’m not insecure to compare myself to aristocratic ideals by a monopolist corporation that hates free press.

        I mean, I could imagine that response from some of my girls, too. But they’re the sweet ones. They make me smile.

        The spicy ones are funnier, though. Because, like, the whole joke is that we’re in a jealous, insecure, toxic, traditional relationship. The farcical nature of this assumption is what makes it funny. I would probably continue the conversation with:

        “My new side piece. She has a better ass than you. Better catch up. 😘”

        To which one of my partners would respond something like:

        “Like your autistic ass could even get a girl with a better ass than me. Actually… remind me why I’m with you again…?”

        “My dick”

        etc.

        Even then, I’m not insecure to compare myself to aristocratic ideals by a monopolist corporation that hates free press.
