Absolutely, 100%.
I have a decent vocabulary, and when I saw “compersion” it was a word I have never seen or used. So I looked it up, and it came up with “polyamory” which nearly any person can noodle out the meaning, contrasted with “compersion”, which is obscure and somewhat abstracted..
I have zero respect for the psychiatric community as a whole, even if I can recognize there are people in it who I might respect individually.
I love to write, and I understand that there are often times when multiple words might be used in a sentence, but only one fits perfectly or very well. So, when I see someone use a word like that, it usually indicates one of two things:
They are trying to sound more intelligent than they are.
Or they are trying to obscure something.
In this case, I believe it is both.

To me monogamy fits with the belief in only one God - undivided love and devotion.

Call it what you want. Even call it late for dinner. It’s still the aimless mental ramblings of someone whose gravely sinful lifestyle has darkened their intellect to a hue somewhere between road tar and pitch.

"Compersion is the positive emotion of joy or happiness when one sees their partner involved with another person. It can be experienced in any form of consensual non-monogamy, such as polyamory, polygamy, open relationships or polyfidelity."
Polyfidelity, there's your oxymoron of the day...

I wouldn’t identify joy as the feeling I get at the thought of Mr. GG2 kissing someone else under the apple tree. 😏

Only with multiple partners. What’s wrong with 2? As long as everyone confines it to just 2 outside trysts. Hopefully all are married.

2 isomer then one. If one has a disease, it will spread to the others involved.
