Th**** Posted September 15 Posted September 15 And to the OP, open straightforward communication with all parties, potential or current, is the key to any type of relationship. Our relationship is even stronger than before because we're open and now have another perspective to be added into our relationship and decisions we make beyond our own...it's like empathy multiplied.
pl**** Posted September 15 Posted September 15 was in a long term poly relationship. due to having to relocate we had to end it. i can tell you vetting the others that claim to be poly have no clue to what that lifestyle is about. we were a very close couple. we both enjoyed the company of others both together and separate encounters. it’s when they begin to believe that they are better for you than your real partner that can mess up the relationship. you need to recognize this. these people are only interested in f**king. there is so much more to this then some couples who attempt to be in a poly understand.
Gi**** Posted September 15 Posted September 15 Mr postman no but one is usually favored over the other and can lead to things unwanted in this life style such as one feeling unwanted ext
Re**** Posted September 15 Posted September 15 I've had great poly dynamics and enjoyed poly for many years. Not everyone has the confidence and self awareness to handle the complex emotions involved in a lot of poly dynamics and situations
pe**** Posted September 15 Posted September 15 Never been in a poly relationship. Not against it. Just never been in one. I’m not sure if I could share with someone else especially if it’s another man she with.
Mr**** Posted September 15 Posted September 15 I wonder what is Poly in 2024? Successfully myself been in a Poly relationship for 14 years with little issues.
Ka**** Posted September 15 Posted September 15 My husband and I want to be in a poly relationship. He and i both agree that ANYONE we are with, be it poly or solo, that clear communication and boundaries discussed before anything is confirmed is a must!!
ne**** Posted September 15 Posted September 15 I’ve seen poly work and I’m open to it. Communication is so key to this to ensure everyone is on the same page and everyone is getting what they need in the relationships
ra**** Posted September 15 Posted September 15 My fiancee and I are poly, we're just looking together
Be**** Posted September 15 Posted September 15 Depends on the boundaries / rules / time frame you provide to each partner individually. It works perfect if you know what you’re doing
Se**** Posted September 16 Posted September 16 I could definitely see a poly relationship working with open, honest communication. My poly experience unfortunately began with my partner being dishonest about the stability of her existing relationship. So,, the majority of our relationship was spent analyzing her other relationship. Then she asked to be monogamous with me but then violated that commitment by beginning another relationship in secret. Overall, it was a bad experience but I think that was because neither her or her partner were emotionally or mentally stable enough to engage in a poly lifestyle.
Th**** Posted September 16 Posted September 16 I have been Poly for 9 years. It has been the most rewarding relationship I have ever been in. Many don't know what a Poly relationship is. It is Not a person with multiple partners. Poly is Multiple Committed Relationships, where everyone involved has a voice and consent. It does Not involve "hooking up", that is an open relationship. PhycologicalToday and the NIH did studies, Poly relationships where 1 partner had multiple relationships typically last 7 to 8 years, while traditional relationships last from 2 to 3.5 years. And open marriages only have a 20% success rate. Poly relationships based upon a D/s dynamic were found to have a 86% success rate. I have to say Mine are great. Multiple incomes, alot of support for our children (being a single Father once makes this even greater), alot of vacations... Balance is tricky, and all put upon Me. It takes a strong Man to maintain Poly/monogamous D/s relationships. Butt it is worth it
La**** Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Hell nah. Not for me. Im possessive. My sub is mine, and I am theirs. But if poly works for some people, then good for them. To each their own.
Ki**** Posted September 16 Posted September 16 A poly relationship could be an incredible experience. It's an experience that I doubt that I will get to have but it's definitely something that I would give my all if it did happen.
ch**** Posted September 16 Posted September 16 My spouse and I are poly we love it I have some issues with the whole thing sometimes like if I can't get comfortable with the female I have really bad anxiety attacks and stuff but as long as I'm comfortable I love it alot

dr**** Posted September 16 Posted September 16 My experience has been that there is always a main couple of the relationship, and everyone else is interchangeable and atleast in the few I was in it was more of a way to pass the time for most people in the relationship which just drained me
Da**** Posted September 16 Posted September 16 I will be honest. I could not do that at all. I cannot stand the thought of another man or woman giving the love and attention to her and would feel less of a partner and lover that way cause of it. Would feel like all I give her would not be enough to point she has to be satisfied with others
