Does anyone know enough poly relationships to make claim, or the opposing claim?
No yeah, you got a point there.
Tried it twice. Both times ended in fallout. Never again. And long term is pretty self explanatory. Youre never going to have the relationship with one person that youll have with, lets say, five others.
It really isn't self explanatory. For some long term means life, for others it's like 10+ years and others 20+ years. Most relationships aren't for life but many can be for long term and even then what breaks those relationships are often the same thing that breaks monogamous relationships. Failure to meet needs, failure to align values, failures of expectations.
So... what you mean when you say
"Youre never going to have the relationship with one person that youll have with, lets say, five others."
