I don’t think I’ve seen a roommate situation last more than a couple years. Doesn’t seem to be enough of a relationship to overcome the “fuck you, me first” mentality I see in a lot of people where they just kinda…move on when things don’t serve them anymore.

I’ve also thought about the commune thing, but the general consensus I’ve heard from former commune people is “DON’T”. A normal house in a normal neighborhood sounds fine, tbh. Also, I just kinda like being in love as a general…human thing. Poly love just always made more sense to me than monogamy. I just use the financials to justify it to myself intellectually.
