    Transitioning from mono to poly

    I understand what you mean now. I tend to be one of those people too, where I'm so far to the left, anyone looks like a conservative 1950s housewife/husband next to me. You could introduce him to the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona. This movie features a FMF triad. By watching the movie he...

    I'm confused, please help!

    I think that's a beautiful philosophy to live by. This to me sounds like polyamory. If I were you I would explain to him that some people's hearts are monogamous and other people's hearts are polyamorous. For some people, I'm guessing him included, it's only possible to fall in love with one...
