This is me working on not assuming anything by asking questions.
I have seen a few posts online on a few social media sites about people mentoring and dating the same ENM folks. In other words, they are mentoring the same people they are dating in ENM/polyam.
From those posts, I gather that it's a no-no from an ethics standpoint, but I have not seen anyone go into details about why it's unethical. I am assuming (see?) that it's considered to be similar to a teacher dating a student (let's use a university setting as an example) or a lawyer/doctor dating one of their clients.
I had not considered this to be an issue until I saw those posts, so I thought I would ask folks on this board about their thoughts on mentoring while dating folks practicing ENM.
