*Squeaks* Hello

I'm Meggie, I'm fairly new to poly, but I basically know my poly. I don't like open relationships or one person dating one person and another person, I want everyone to be dating eachother. I currently have a boyfriend but he's okay with poly, too.
 
Hi Meggie,. Welcome to the Forum - lots of helpful, experienced poly folks here - with sound advice and good info. Best of luck on your poly journey! Al
 
Hi there.
A warm welcome to the forums. Sounds like you want a triad where each of the 3 has a romantic connection to everyone in the triad.

I personally think a triad can be very beautiful. I'm kinda new to polyamory as well, but I think the more experienced people on this forum have said in the past that a triad has the potential for more instability, in the sense that if any one of the many relationships in the triad don't work out, then the ripples start to affect every other relationship in the triad. I've also heard people arguing that it can be unethical to say to your partner that they can only date Sarah if you are also dating Sarah - what if you and Sarah don't get along after a while but there is a growing love between Sarah and your partner? Would it be ethical to terminate this new love between two people because of you when you are not directly involved in the relationship?

I'm not arguing one way or another, I'm pretty new to all this too and haven't really thought much about it, but those are just some thoughts I've seen others think about recently.

Again, a warm welcome to the forums. Have a search for triads to see what others have found useful.

Good luck and best wishes,
Shaya.
 
Greetings Meggie,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

It sounds like you favor a poly-fi arrangement ... nothing wrong with that, I am in one myself (a V, though, not a triad).

Glad you could join us, and hope you enjoy your stay.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)
