Thanks for your post. I'm glad you were able to get at what I was trying to say.

Yes, this conversation was regarding the "core couple" as you refer to it. We are starting this journey from the perspective of a married couple (who made a lifelong commitment to each other) with kids, whose lives are just about as entangled as possible. I know that hierarchical poly is pretty...

Thanks for your response. During our original conversation, I brought up the idea that what he was saying about the instability of polyamory sounded more like serial monogamy and he agreed. I think he does understand and grasp polyamory. His main point was that the chances of finding a "game...

Oh wow, I think you misunderstood my post - we are not struggling badly with polyamory - we were struggling badly with monogamy! My husband wasn't saying our relationship felt less stable at this moment - he agrees that it feels very strong right now. We have spent a lot of time building back...
