Hello sweet people,
I had a confusing experience this weekend and would love some support and guidance. I identify as poly with no current partners, and have been looking for similar. I met someone a month ago who called themselves “unpartnered poly”, which I interpreted as being in my same situation; open to many lives, but not currently attached to anyone romantically or sexually.
Well, yesterday this person explained that they have five lovers whom they see regularly, one that they even travel from California to Colorado on a monthly basis to see for a weekend at a time.
I felt very confused, and a little mislead. This doesn’t sound like unpartnered poly to me. Is not having a PRIMARY partner the same as being unpartnered in how we use language?
