Man outed as polyamorous by friend who tried to sabotage him
A man's friend outed him as polyamorous to their mutual friends, causing humiliation and embarrassment. The friend, Kevin, assumed that the man was cheating on his wife and tried to gather evidence against him. Despite being informed of the misunderstanding, Kevin continued to spread lies about the man, causing him to publicly come out as polyamorous to dispel rumors. The man now holds a grudge against Kevin and refuses to forgive him, despite his wife insisting that Kevin had good intentions. The incident highlights the stigma and misconceptions surrounding polyamory and the harm that can be caused by assuming or spreading false information. The man acknowledges that being polyamorous is not as dire as being gay and in the closet, but still feels embarrassed about it and prefers not to spread the word around. The article raises questions about the ethics of outing someone and the importance of respecting others' privacy and choices. The next section will feature comments and reactions to the man's story.
Commenters agree that Kevin had ulterior motives and is toxic. NTA.
