Though Edna said "I didn't care for that too much," near the end of his life Rimmer claimed to have lived formany years in a two-couple polyfidelitous relationship.

Yes, I was wondering if Rimmer ever did actually live his stated ideal poly partner family arrangement. This article does not mention it, even in a sociological fashion. As I remember, he believed jealousy was based on a scarcity theory: "If you share your love with somebody else, is there going to be enough love to go around? Will I get enough?" To me, that was the focus of his books, not merely the partner-swapping.Lynxx2 (talk) 04:18, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
