Polyamory and soulmates

[Tonberry]

Thanks for clarifying, Tonberry.

No problem. What I mean is always clear in my head, but I should remember to make it clear in my posts, too! Always feel free to ask. I don't mind discussions even when there are disagreements. And since we work differently, I assume we both need a lot of help to understand each other.

Most friends, even close friends, would never ask for something like that. They might object to a specific person because they personally dislike them or think they're not a good friend to you, but that's it.
I think the way I feel is less "I have needs" and more "I will feel locked up and resentful if you impose these limits on me. Only I have the right to impose them on myself, and I don't see a point to them so I won't."

Total agreement here. Even when we are in team situations, there is an individual aspect to consider and reevaluate periodically. Yes?
