Polyamory. Opinions?
I'm all for letting people do what works for them.
I don't think it's for me, though. I couldn't see me being with a woman when another man is in the picture. If it were me with two women, then I would short circuit because I can barely handle one woman. Also, who has the time for it all?
I'm poly. My triad lasted 17 years. He decided it wasn't for him. I have stayed best friends with the other female in the triad. Contrary to popular belief, its not all about sex. My current relationship of 6 years is also poly. I'm sexually intimate w/the male & very close friends with his fiancee. She & I spend more time together than he & I do. ? I've started dating a new guy. We'll see where that goes.
A lot of people confuse poly with swinging. For me, I require that emotional connection & commitment. I don't do fwbs, 1 nighters or side chick action. Its just not my cup of tea & I don't get any real enjoyment from such. Kinda wish I did but, there ya go.
Its not for everyone & it takes a lot of work.
I've not been in a polyamorous relationship before, but my SO and I have decided to try. Mostly my choice, I'm attracted to women also. We haven't met anyone yet, and I'm interested in hearing other people's experiences.
If it works for ya, it's fine. I was in a polyamorous situation for a while when I was a lot younger. Wouldn't have wanted to stay there, though.
