Polyamory?

[Alezia]

I'm just wondering....

 

1) Would you ever consider a poly relationship? (A relationship that has multiple loving partners)

 

2) An open relationship of any kind?

 

3) Do you believe in one true love?

 

4) Do you think open relationships of any kind can last?

 

1. No

 

2. No

 

3. No

 

4. No =)

 

I'm an all round pessimist I guess atm. I wouldn't feel comfortable in a poly relationship but I am somewhat of a serial monogamist. I think poly relationships are best kept away from children though.

1) Would you ever consider a poly relationship? No, I'm very much the jealous type. When I'm in a relationship I even feel uncomfortable with my SO having female friends.

 

2) An open relationship of any kind? I don't think so, but maybe if it was something I could see only lasting a short time and I wasn't in love with him.

 

3) Do you believe in one true love? No, I think love can exist with multiple people.

4) Do you think open relationships of any kind can last? I suppose it's possible, but I imagine that eventually one of the two would get sick of it after a while and would want to settle down with one person. There's also a good possibility that one would fall in love with another person.

Don't get sucked in to this type of a relationship. It will go nowhere and 99% of the time in cases like this, it is just somebody using somebody else for sex. Stay away from the whole situation and find somebody who you can commit to and will commit to you.

That's kind of the point of polyamory. It isn't about swinging. It is about forming loving relationships with more than one person.

are you sure you are okay in your poly relationship OP? you seem to ask similar questions once a month it seems.

I was thinking about the same thing, I am not sure if she really enjoys it.

I really do enjoy it. Mostly I want to know info about what other people think about it. I enjoy hearing how other people deal with the idea. I like know why people think it's good or it's bad.

1) Would you ever consider a poly relationship?

No, I never could. I'm a very jealous person and don't share well. I don't think I'd be strong enough to handle it

 

2) An open relationship of any kind?

Same as above, basically. More power to those who can though. Actually, I take that back. If I'm not in love with the guy and am just having fun, yeah I can (and have) do (done) it.

 

3) Do you believe in one true love?

I don't believe in one true love, no. I believe a person has multiple soul-mates or counterparts. I feel as though (most) people will have many great loves and will come out of each with some sort of new life lesson, something gained (be it insight or whatever), and be a better and stronger person because of it.

 

4) Do you think open relationships of any kind can last?

If all parties involved are secure with it and ground rules are set...absolutely.

Check out my posts. They aren't the same thing over and over again. (okay maybe about STDs, but not about poly) I'm just really interested in what people think.

I have to agree with Rosephase here. I could be no way other than poly, but hearing what the "rest" of the world thinks is interesting. I also enjoy being able to at least TRY to present the ideas behind poly so more people can at least understand it. There are so many misconceptions, and if I can reach at least ONE person and make them understand a new way of looking at things (not turn them poly, just be more accepting), then hey, I've had a good day.

[ghost69]

nobody ever said they weren't accepting of it. i just don't understand it. i just wouldn't feel like i was in love with my partner if they felt they had to go do other stuff with other guys. i would not be okay with that. to me, that would show that they really don't love me. i don't care how close people are that do this, just doesn't seem like love to me. would make me wonder, 'why does this girl need other guys? i must not be good enough.'

 

but hey, if it's your thing, awesome, have fun.

I just mean "in general", not the people in the thread. The majority of the population that I have met just sort of go O_o and their brain explodes when I talk about it. Or they get incredibly angry.

1) Would you ever consider a poly relationship? (A relationship that has multiple loving partners) Maybe....It would also depend on what are my bf's thoughts about it. If he were to somehow agree with it in a latter future, then I might consider it...

 

2) An open relationship of any kind? Well I did made a thread about this a while ago about including a semi-open relationship. I think about it at times though. Might mention this to bf sometime in the future when I feel comfortable talking to him about it.

 

3) Do you believe in one true love? Not really because break-ups or divorces always happens. That's inevitable...

 

4) Do you think open relationships of any kind can last? I don't know. Haven't tried any. But I think it depends on the couple involved on it. If done with established rules then it can work out...
