So, I was just wondering what people here thought of solo polyamory, if anyone practiced it/had practiced it, and, if so, what form does it take for you? Until my current rather new set up, I was solo poly. I had four very casual girlfriends. One,, we'll call her K, I was closer to than the others. I miss her a bit, but she and I weren't compatible for anything that was more serious. The other three I was even less compatible with. So when I started my current relationship, I broke things off with those women to concentrate on establishing a new base, with the understanding that we'd revisit things in time.
I'm a fiercely independent person, and solo poly seems to be my most natural way of operating. I can see - or not see - partners when it is convenient for all involved. We're serious about caring for one another, and we enjoy one another's company, but no one is staking claims, or thinking of playing house or anything. It's a pretty cool way to live, but, at the same time, I also kind of fear getting old and dying alone, and I operate okay in more serious/thinking of the future set ups as well. NGL, though, I can't help but miss the freedom of solo poly.
So, what do you guys think? I've heard some people say that solo polyamorists just fear commitment, but personally, I don't at all. I just happen to be able to operate just fine without it, too. Thoughts?
