I do believe that is an important factor. Many of the things I've read by people who were angry about poly had tried opening up at the behest of one partner but not the other. All of my present and future relationships will have started with the idea of poly first. I think this is also true...

I'm more interested in what's going on in his head. If he says one thing and does the opposite, then he clearly doesn't know what he wants. Or maybe he does know what he wants but he's not willing to make the commitment or sacrifice. It sounds like he wants to be monogamous but knows that he...

That's a really good point. Healthy, happy, untroubled individuals are less likely to go see a counselor. Furthermore, poly people may be more likely to hide their lifestyle from counselors and seek support elsewhere. I wonder if this counselor HAS actually unknowingly helped poly people?

Thanks! We all live together as well. I am about to sell my last home and use the funds to improve our current home to make ready for children. :eek: Only somewhat daunting! We're pretty good people and really haven't had trouble communicating and I trust these people really well. But I...

Hello everyone. I've been polyamorous for about 2 years, in my current committed relationship for nearly a year. My partner and metamour engage in open poly, where we are free to date or whatever else we want, although that hasn't been happening much lately. Right now I'm only seeing one person...
