Hey you all poly people, one question: How do you manage Stuff?
That is, your physical possessions, items, things - clutter? Most people have way too much stuff and living polyamorously will raise new problems concerning Stuff.
Managing Stuff in poly relationships seems to start when a relationship is stable enough for frequent overnights with a partner. When do you start keeping Stuff at the partner's place? What do you keep there? Toothbrush, extra underwear...? How do you manage stuff left at your place by multiple partners? Who does the laundry - ie. can you leave dirty clothes at your partner's place or do you always take them with you and bring clean ones next time?
Me and my two guys moved in together without having any conversations about Stuff. Mistake!! We have been living together for five years and Stuff still causes problems... there is too much of it!
Our house has two separate apartments - one for each guy - and I live in both. So still today I have two sets of basic everyday stuff: toothbrushes, shampoos, bedding etc. etc. Keeping order with all the stuff is quite a job!
How do you do this?
