This means that although we are committed to each other, we | | don’t believe that this should exclude us from loving other partners | | too—any more than loving one of our children should exclude us from | | loving the other. | | | | This isn’t a Bay Area conversion story; we’ve been open for most of | | our marriage, having both had several secondary partners over the years. | | As with any other relationships these have had their ups and downs, but at | | this point we (and our partners) are all feeling very happy and loved, and | | life is good. | | | | Our kids have learned naturally about what makes our family different from | | some other families, and have taken it completely in their stride as | | normal. Although polyamorous relationships take many forms, in our case | | our marriage takes primacy and we firmly remain the primary caregivers for | | our children. | | | | Although we are coming out together, we are not outing our other partners | | at this time, because that would be a separate conversation for them to | | have with their own families and friends. We hope that over time, | | polyamorous unions will continue to become more accepted, just as LGBT | | relationships have been. | | | | Other than the above I don’t have too much to add to what Dominica | | wrote, and neither do I propose to write a Poly 101 primer. But if you | | want to learn more about polyamory and other forms of open relationships | | (noting again that these take many different forms), here is a fun | | resource to start with. | | | +----------------------| posted 447 days ago via news | reply (0 comments) |--+ | << Back | | page generated in 0.498 seconds sadlittlewebjournal 3.2.5 | | content (c) its respective creator(s) web administration | | valid html 4.01 transitional rss feed | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
