    Yeah but that's why you get a partner who is good at dishes and doesn't mind doing them if you vacuum. You just happen to be better a vacuuming. It's the same idea that makes trading with other countries better than doing everything local.

    The difference? I personally haven't had any good experiences with any of these words

    Polygamy = man has many wives

    Polyamory = person has many partners

    As i understand it, it’s all about how much misogyny is at play

    a man with multiple wives is polygyny or a harem.

    polygamy can be any gender, but if I were to guess, polygamy is one-to-many relationship (man with multiple wives, woman with multiple husbands), while polyamory is just a group of people all in a group relationship

    I know it's a joke, but please hear me out... Just get roommates to share chores with.

    The majority of people out there are not cut out to be poly.

    IME, a significant amount of people are not cut out to be roommates, either. Including me, I've been a shitty roommate (I can't bring myself to clean regularly and I have severe insomnia) and the only thing that changed is that I live by myself now.
