Well, I think a lot of people honestly don't know what they want. I think if you care about someone very much, you can convince yourself that you would happily do anything to be with them. I've certainly consented to some less-than-ideal situations in the name of love, because when you
really want someone it takes tremendous self awareness and maturity to realize they might not be right for you. This veers off topic quite a bit, but I think there are a fair number of people who consent unhappily to polyamory when they fall in love with someone who insists on it. And it can be extraordinarily difficult to sit down and tell yourself that a particular style of relationship just can't make you happy, after you've fallen for a person who's in it. (Can you tell I've had experience with this?
)

But i assume that is a whole other discussion.

Oh, yes... I've complained about this before as well!
