That's fair, I apologize if my comments offended anyone. I understand that a mono person shouldn't be dictating what a healthy poly relationship looks like in the first place. I recognize the inflammatory nature of this topic and how easily it can devolve into bickering, and I would like to avoid that.

we all really want the same thing here though, like I said I'm not opposed to polyamory in this game. As long as it is done with the care it deserves. We can all agree that it was treated like an afterthought with little development time. SH/Astarion were only chosen for this because they were the fan-favorite male/female companions, (and like has been repeated a thousand times) with no build-up or regard for previous characterization. I've already made my point, just wanted to clarify I meant no offense to any poly people, I understand this is a sensitive topic, their voices should be heard as well, even if we disagree on some things.
