[@jolondaruss2308]

The poly couple is ridiculous! This guy found two ladies with severe self esteem issues and he is playing 'Puppet Master" with them. I'm glad the counselor was able to call him out on his BS.

[@ntombi-yensimbinarrates7297]

Absolutely. They should comsider dissolving their situation. I am still learning about poly relationships, but I can tell that the guy is trippin

[@rk6032]

Absolutely. I actually am poly, and I was like, I DO NOT like this guy. He does what some people in the poly community derisively call "emotional libertarianism" -- I can do whatever I want, and you can have whatever feelings you want, but your feelings are not my problem. The two women should dump him and find a kinder person to be with.

[@jojomarch]

When he started his speech on how his emotional abilities were good and he understood why women's often weren't oh my...

[@andredwalker1720]

You only see a snippet of this so Josh looks like a jerk, but you guys have to see the season.

[@sopranosd]

Yeah, he's a ridiculous, man-splaining egomaniac, and both of those women are allowing themselves to be used. It's gross. Please tell me they leave him! And he uses 'prescribe' incorrectly. He means 'subscribe' but of course the point for him is to sound smart rather than to speak plainly. Oops.

[@kadyelizabeth8680]

The guy in the troupe is insane!!! These girls need to run

[@jenniealarid1421]

They most likely have their own relationships outside of him. It sounds like their relationships together with him have the issues because of his own time management and respect. Sounds awfully complicated

[@smnx127]

It’s videos like these where I’m grateful to be single.

[@Lehmann108]

A master therapist at work. So nice to see.

[@ErinT80]

Poly relationships are so damn complicated. I wouldn’t last a week being in one.

[@soxpuff]

8:49 Relationships are challenging, so let's add other people and components to challenge it even further.

[@princepeterwolf]

Call me square but I still don't understand poly relationships

[@Morenita570]

From my experience they’re the behavior of l o s e rs with attachment issues.

[@ntombi-yensimbinarrates7297]

You and me both. The insecurity is madness.

[@momo33727]

this!!

[@maartjegoede9330]

Its just a way for people to f around without real consequenses... Maybe they have difficulty with attachment... A lot reasons but i dont think anything to do with being a free spirit or something positive

[@ErinT80]

Same.

[@zairehaylock4974]

I love Dr. Orna.

[@BM__8]

I love her perspectives and curiosity toward how her clients are feeling/experiencing. She’s a good therapist.

[@zairehaylock4974]

@@BM__8 I wish I could meet her in person.

[@andredwalker1720]

I saw the comments, and while Josh can be a jerk I feel like this snippet doesn't portray their issues well. The girl on the right is Josh's anchor partner. She introduced him to being poly, and it almost felt like because she traveled with the circus (or whatever) for work, she kind of used being poly to have a good time. Now she's done traveling and wants to settle in, but he met the girl on the left, and really likes her. The girl on the left is used to having a rhythm with Josh because while she is his only partner outside his anchor, the girl on the left is actually in other relationships but they don't show those people because it isn't about them.

[@SamStone1964]

Josh is gay. Everything discussed is a moot point.

[@jsimms4292]

It all seems a bit ridiculous.. 3 different people having their cake and eating it too?

[@arieslady021]

The "thrupple" doesn't make sense to me.

[@Sophie-fi6dm]

"Relationship Anarchy" 😂 This guy!! They all use annoying and unnecessary words to basically say "I want you to spend more time with just ME!". Relationships aren't for everyone, and certainly not for him

[@tgrant6518]

The last couple I feel won’t make it. It’s hard to come back from throwing low blows at one another. Unless they don’t consider name calling and violence a low.

[@benjamingardner3314]

The guy embracing anger can turn it around, he's aware he is on a destructive path, but change is terrifying, even for the better.

[@SuperChava28]

Also kind of feels like because he doesn’t have his family around that he is trying to sabotage his partner having family around out of jealousy.

[@JB-yw9zw]

poly but jealous like a monogamous couple. Makes no sense

[@sarahkottke676]

Monotonous monogamy?

[@millie9814]

They don't really seem to care that much about each other, the 3 of them. That's probably common in these kinds of relationships. How could you? Btw, this guy looks lethargic, depressed and stressed, and the women look sad and hurt.

[@JB-yw9zw]

@@sarahkottke676 lollll yeah. crazy typo

[@diamcole]

From what I've heard and seen, jealousy is expected because it's a human emotion but the reaction to it is "supposed" to be different. Like, it's a valid feeling but not necessarily the responsibility of your other partner(s). It seems like a lot to me.

[@sardarje3096]

It sound that the guy is not cut for polygamy

[@jenniealarid1421]

I’m so close to getting a showtime subscription lol

[@magayakimade]

Me too. I binged a season on a flight.

[@Lipnl]

Joshlighting

[@22221mm]

The guy in the throuple is horrible

[@SamStone1964]

Well he's gay so it's horrible he's stringing along two delusion women.

[@jsimms4292]

They’re all silly tbh

[@talkindurinthemovie]

I'm married--and I believe in marriage as an institution but BREAK UP. For the love of Jesus

[@kellymaps8128]

The women in the ridiculous “polyamorous “now realize that they both want monogamy and not actually share a man that decides who gets his attention this week. Mind you we can actually physically see he’s more into one than the other.. so why keep that masquerade going ?

[@StephanieS3062]

Is there a new season coming??!! Orna I am ready!!!

[@hyperbolic-time-chamber-strand]

What a mess

[@watts391]

Lol

[@ritaarthur9682]

Wondering if it's not possible for one of this 2 ladies with 1 guy find a nother partner for themselves.

[@mapulemampuru6584]

Both of them need to go

[@jsimms4292]

They’re all greedy tbh

[@thesmileyeffect]

9:57 Relationship Anarchy?!?!?! What???

[@carilendrum9794]

How do I watch this from The beginning - in order and full episodes?

[@kweenz600]

Showtime via Paramount+

[@biba350]

Subscribed love this series Brilliant

[@jojomarch]

Anyone know if/when series 4 will be available in the UK?

[@khrisdavis1944]

Get that vpn young blood

[@katwhy]

Hahaha, thrupples! You think you're being dynamic and liberated but truly you're just doubling down on the complexities of what it actually means to be in a functioning relationship.

[@catherinn.951]

the poly couple confirmed that i do not have any interest in this lol Sounds miserable to deal with more drama than needs to be. Everything is done half a$$. Not worth the energy.

[@MelissaRae1975]

I want to binge seasin 4

[@Caymond]

Why do the two of three have matching outfits?

[@RaTtattatata]

Polyamory functions very subjectively, like Ik it’s case to case HOWEVER if everyone in the dynamic can’t hang out or it’s not the norm for then to all be together, it can become very unstable and lowly disconnected. But that’s j my experience ✋😬🤚

[@CHASEONLYME]

The last couple i don’t like together. The one with the short hair was smiling when his partner was clearly hurting and he likes the toxicity. SMH move on

[@audreydupuy2628]

Is this reality tv?

[@paired.together]

6:52 what exactly was he implying? How does that help resolve their "thrupple" issues? Ridiculous clown.

[@vince1276gshxks]

where can i see the whole full episodes

[@itumelengtshoane9717]

Co-asking

[@tiffanigray4885]

I watched on Amazon

[@marriejames01]

Paramount trial and binge watch it.

[@julie15957]

Well damn.

[@livingnow7017]

These woman need to see their own value and not depend on that from a man!😮

[@zipporahp.30]

I don’t understand being poly. I feel that your relationship with your partner should meet certain needs and your relationships with friends should meet certain needs so if you’re poly or exploring outside of monogamy it’s pretty much just about sex and attention. No wonder why there is a strong correlation between narcissists and polyamory :/

[@AyandaLembede]

just finished watching season 4 and omg i literally could not stand the poly couple. idk why. i usually find poly couples very interesting and love hearing about their experiences but this particular couple had me yawning and zoning out whenever they made an appearance. apart from the fact that Josh kinda sucks, they were just so boring. i had to skip through most of that. anyway, i really enjoyed Rex and Joey's moments. they're such a cute and complex couple and I really wish they got a bit more screen time. i hope they are able to work through their issues and i'm genuinely wishing them all the best.

[@SamStone1964]

Maybe because Josh is gay so there's no intimate connection with either woman.

[@elephant2072]

I'm being genuine here... Can someone explain WHY poly couples want to add *more* people to the mix? Isn't relationship with 2 people deep and complex enough? I just don't understand. Also, I've never seen a poly/open relationship that looked like it worked

[@sardarje3096]

At 😂this point just be in an open relationship

[@notyourmanicpixie]

Just because you've never seen it, it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. None of these people are being honest with themselves. If everyone is being open and honest and real, it looks very different.

[@SamStone1964]

It's just a way of avoiding connection.

[@lorib6582]

Josh is odious.

[@lealovestechbooo]

the poly couple sounds ridiculous

[@justineplemons7585]

Oh ok. They are in a relationship with a cult leader.

[@LI-pm3mh]

6:46 This therapist is wrong here

[@IsitriOm]

I disagree. I won’t go so far to say he’s a narc, but he’s sooooooo handcuffed by his terminal uniqueness. He’s super manipulative, not that aware of his own misogyny, and Lorna’s just not letting him run over her too.

[@user-pf6ve1jx6p]

Hmmm I think if you are dealing with someone pathological and you have a history of being gaslit it’s a different situation, you need a timeline, but ultimately when it’s not about establishing patterns of behaviour, in relation to ‘character’ , I don’t think it is important because you end up debating the peripheral and he seems very comfortable in his head so I think she made the right call.

[@kweenz600]

What do you think she did wrong?

[@amlandeperse8106]

For the polyamorous couple 👉 You wanna make this fair(?) I propose we allow the women to have "relations" with other men on an intimate/continuous basis... 😌 And then let's see how Josh feels...

[@kweenz600]

Both women have other relationships with different people.

[@Dorothyredshz]

Josh seems to thrive on the attention .....and conflict that two women are in conflict over him ....🫡

[@Morenita570]

Also, he seems zesty.

[@ntombi-yensimbinarrates7297]

Accurate read.

[@ErinT80]

Agreed.

[@jessicataylor7914]

Yes, dude is creeping me out.

[@cocot9414]

Josh needs to find 1 woman who wants the same things as him. It's like these women are pieces that he is trying to make a whole with..one woman is stuck in trauma that prevents her from making plans, the other has a career that keeps her away and another lover....I mean this is just a drawn out break up.

[@bobsee8226]

These women are all nuts!
