Hello Polyam Comrades
Hopefully your week is starting off well! Sorry for not posting over the holidays, my brain wasn’t functional enough to do it, but here we are back at it in the new year. To help foster a safe and inclusive space for polaymory discussion, we wanted to provide weekly discussion topics! The goal is that we share our stories and our experiences, listen to each other, provide safe space for each other, and learn from each other. Please ask questions and provide answers in good faith only, let’s be the wonderful communicators I know we all are.
This week’s discussion topic is: Ask That Burning Question You Have!
Maybe you’re new to polyamory and are unsure about something and need some clarifications, maybe you’ve seen polyamory in a movie and are wondering if that’s how it really is, maybe you’re a polyam pro but need a suggestion for a better calendar app than google calendar to manage your various polycule schedules (this is me someone please help me I’m overwhelmed by my google calendar right now I’ve got like pod’s pods on there and it’s not helpful anymore).
Please feel free to use this thread to suggest future discussion topics as well, ideas you have to foster a better community, or feedback you have about the community.
I’ve been polyamorous for like 4.5 years, so yes definitely. Have had one partner for 15 years (we were monogamous for much of that though!), another for 4, various other friends with romance and other relationship arrangements I have been involved with over the past few years. I’m part of a larger polyamory community in my area and I have friends from that who have been polyamorous for well over a decade. Someone I’m seeing lately has been polyamorous for nearly 20 years.
So yes! Definitely! I think polyamory is a very sustainable relationship style/orientation if done ethically and intentionally
