Actually, polyamory (to be successful) requires that people communicate
very openly and honestly regarding feelings, expectations, limitations,
and a thousand other things. Open communication makes emotional issues
infinitely more "manageable", no matter how many people are involved.
When there are just two, it becomes far too easy to let communication
lapse in favor of assumption. *That's* where I've seen relationships
get into serious trouble.

The key word, I guess, being "everyone". I've seen stable polygamous
relationships work out, but never completely open polyamory without a stable
couple or triad at the centre.
