@Avasmommy, From what I’ve read, some people do “one time only” scenarios, so they don’t run the risk of emotional attachment, some have ongoing things [but will break it off if emotions flare up], and some are open to the idea of adding a gf/bf/spouse to their ‘pack’.

I’ve read a decent amount, both because there are some poly people in one of my communities, and because human variation is just fascinating. ;P

Um, how in the hell did I miss this post? Oh yeah I haven’t read and/or written anything in 100 years. Anyway…

Go Mr and Mrs O! I just want people to do what makes them happy, as long as it doesn’t fuck with my life, WHO CARES. I mean within reason. Don’t hurt people/animals and crap like that. But I HATE judgement. I couldn’t care less what you do with your winky at night as long as it’s not hurting someone else.

I don’t think the Mr. and I would do it, mostly because we have this crazy, fiery, passion and I have never even looked as anyone else. I am not saying Mr. and Mrs. O don’t have passion, I just don’t know how that would work out. Who knows, we have been married for 8 years, if in another 8, 10, or hell 20 years we wanna shake it up a bit…who knows. I never say never. Life has already taught me otherwise.
Besides if I was smart, I would have married a woman to begin with. KIDDING. Ok kinda kidding, because wives are awesome and sometimes I need a clone of myself. Maybe the open thing would work if she/he did laundry. HM.

You are an awesome blogger and the only one I know who could pull this off. You rock and I miss you. Christmas (being SO BUSY) and croup (POOR V) can suck it!

Fascinating and well written. It’s always interesting to learn a little about people and different relationships. Acceptance and communication is key here. Knowing that what works for one may not work for another and just being ok with that. What they do will not threaten the way someone else does things.

Love the idea of opening up discussions with your partner over any type of relationship topics.

Truly fascinating. While not something that I am personally interested in at this time, I don’t think there is a single the wrong with any sort of exploration that occurs as long as all parties are both in agreement and in the know.

That is also how I define cheating. I don’t think it is a finite term. You are cheating in your particular relationship if you are doing something that you cannot tell your partner about. Might be a little too narrow for some people, but I think it holds true. What is acceptable or unacceptable is not what society deems so, but what the people involved in the relationship deem so. If you both can’t agree on the terms, whatever they are, then you shouldn’t be in a relationship.

@Andrea’s Sweet Life,

I think the big thing here, though, is you guys have actually had a conversation about this, so you’re both on the same page.

So many couples choose to assume they know what each other wants without ever actually talking it out in any depth.

@Avasmommy,

Lol… no. I think he respects your questions because when he’s been responding it’s been ‘here’s a response to avasmommy’s questions… ‘

The raking over the coals I think may have be partly joking / partly directed at a comment about his wife leaving him and taking the kids to another country.
