Some people will agree with you, some won't. We're all different and hold differing views of polyamory for a myriad different reasons.
I don't think you should feel bad for knowing yourself well enough to be able to say with confidence that you're not comfortable with that sort of relationship.
Personally I'm alright with "open relationships" so long as each potential additional partner is discussed openly and with full disclosure beforehand, and I get a chance to meet them to see if I feel comfortable with it. I need to be able to read whether or not I feel the person is looking for romance that might threaten my relationship, or fun, entertaining sex - and whether or not I trust them and like them enough. Generally though, if a 3rd person wants to be involved, I find it easier and more comfortable if all 3 of us are involved together. In the end it's just preference, however. Communication and honesty are key.
Is it normal to object to this "sort of open relationship" idea?
