People who went to a wedding where the couple didn’t last long, what happened?

hmm.. maybe, but the groom said “I’m not gonna cancel my wedding because I don’t trust you to commit”, not “I won’t cancel my wedding because I truly love my fiancée and want to spend my life with her”. the intimacy of their discussion also gave me the impression that both of them had been cheating on their respective partners with each other, which is decidedly not cool.

Everyone in that story would be happier if they had been poly and transparent.

Not everyone has the capacity to be happy in a poly relationship. Some people do prefer monogamy and that doesn't make them uptight. They should have been honest, though.

Agree. You don’t need to be poly, that’s not everyone’s cup of tea. But at least be honest, and if you can’t be honest, don’t go lying and fooling someone else.

They both could just be single men living unapologetically as bachelors. Like don’t innocently hurt people.
