Chilee Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hi everyone! 💕 Trust we're all doing well and keeping safe. It's been a jiffy (Meanwhile, brother Mark has bought Giphy as well). Besides the daily frustration of restricted movement and physical touch😪, I've been thinking a lot about Polyamory and I'll really love to hear your thoughts about it too☺️ First, Polyamory is simply a non-monogamous relationship where multiple romantic partners are involved. Okay, how does this differ from open relationships or polygamy, etc. Open relationships vs Polyamory - the former primarily has to do sex while the later involves forming actual romantic relationships with multiple partners with all partners being aware. Hmmm Polygamy/polyandry vs Polyamory - the difference here is marriage and choice of gender...lol There are so many other factors, rules, etc that are attached to such relationships but I'll stop here for now 😅 Before sharing your thoughts, please keep these in mind:😁 "We don't possess people, we experience them" - Nipsey Hussle Jealousy is a real and valid emotion. So, Would you be open to a Polyamorous relationship? Would you remain with your partner if they mentioned that they're PolyAm in the future? Have you met any PolyAms? Do you think it's possible to be in a romantic relationship with multiple people and fully commit to them? Also feel free to correct/add to the above, I'm still learning a lot about this🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators kimi Posted May 17, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 17, 2020 Thanks for the Sunday School Lesson. Lol To answer your questions... 1 hour ago, Chilee said: Would you be open to a Polyamorous relationship? Nopes. Lol. As of today at least. No one knows what the future holds or how our preferences may evolve over time. Lol. 1 hour ago, Chilee said: Would you remain with your partner if they mentioned that they're PolyAm in the future? Haaa. Lol. Not sure yet how I would react to this. I love her and if it makes her happy, I won't stand in the way of her being true to herself. I just may not be a part of that situation. Lol. 1 hour ago, Chilee said: Have you met any PolyAms? Not sure I have but who knows right? Lol. 1 hour ago, Chilee said: Do you think it's possible to be in a romantic relationship with multiple people and fully commit to them? Absolutely. I've seen documentaries where it seems to be working "perfectly". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also feel free to correct/add to the above, I'm still learning a lot about this🙂 I will never be open to one cause I am a very monogamous person. I have never met anyone who does it. I don't think I will stay with them, my health is very important to me. People can be but as for me I can't. Thanks for the update 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Txunamy Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I don't think I can. I would be utterly bored and irritation would follow. I prefer monogamy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that you're open to the possibility of preferences changing over time; it makes all the difference. 1 hour ago, kimi said: Not sure I have but who knows right? Lol. Right?! Until they mention it. I know quite a number of them on social media and one personally. It was interesting to see their relationship(s) working out well. 1 hour ago, Cutie said: I am a very monogamous person.

I don't think monogamy, polygamy or their variants is a basis for assessing one's values. It' simply a preference thing in my opinion. Being a polygamist or in a polyamorous relationship shouldn't be viewed as being less of a relationship. The diversity in the world means that all the peoples of the world won't want the same things wrt relationships etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people use "never", I just assume it has something to do with their values but yeah, might not be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
