Just so everyone is perfectly clear: Polygyny: one man multiple women ( think mormans back in the day... ) Polyandry: one woman multiple men ( think a few and far in between female centered tribes in Africa and Middle East) Polygamy: one partner with multiple spouses ( either sex) Polyamory: a couple that allows either partner to experience loving relationships outside or within the partnership. Each relationship is different- the word itself is confusing as it has both Greek and Latin roots, but generally means 'multiple loving" I have many friends in long term happy marriages who have been living the 'poly lifestyle' for many many many years, and I have had friends who have children and are in poly relationships- and I have friends who have dated married people within poly marriages. This type of relationship is not for everyone to be sure- it requires each person to let go of controls the other persons life, in a big way. It also requires respect and communication, just as any relationship would. Shane and I have made our own set of guidelines for our marriage, and have determined that we are not to go looking for dates, but we do respect that we will meet and get to know people through out our lifes that we may grow to love romantically. And with our relationship we are free to do so, with out breaking our life time commitment to each other. we have discussed the sexual aspect of such relationships and have put into place guidelines that respect eachother and the partners we choose to have. We have discussed wether or not we want to continue this lifestyle after we have children, and the reprecussions of having children outside of our marriage. To be sure this lifestyle is not well known of or understood but we have thought it out and will continue to improve upon our guidelines as time goes on. We love eachother just as much as any couple and maybe more so- because we love and respect eachothers capacity of love and respect more than one person. I hope this clears up any overt concerns... and please feel free to ask more questions or post your own ideas on polyamory.  |
