As simple and amazing as it may seem, it's one of those things I found develops better naturally. Having multiple deeper relationships makes life really complicated/busy at times but if you find the perfect person/s for you, then it's just damn perfect.
Probably enough mush this morning from me,

"If you are poly all sexual relationships are poly. I think when non poly people try it they invariably struggle with feelings of jealousy somewhere along the way"
How are all sexual relationships poly if you're poly?
So even if you see Bob three times a year, by virtue of you being poly, even though he's not, it's a poly thing? |

I sense a PowerPoint, Venn diagrams, spatial emotional analysis, spectrograph of boundaries, distribution charts, emotional statistical outliers lol.
It's just a term, oft used often incorrectly. But hey whatever, you all do you, and Steve, maybe Derrick, Sandra looks nice. Not Dave though, never ever Dave, seriously. |

Its a poly relationship to you unless it’s NSA or what is it? But guess you could be both poly and have NSA relationships never really thought about it like that. |

Past Meli appreciates this for future Meli's sake.
You're right though, it is erm different to each person. Subjective as all words are. There's no one correct way to do it, to be. To view dynamics with folk.
Never Dave. Dave isn't worth it. |

I'm polyamorous. I've been with my partner for over 6 years and he has another partner of 3 years. I did have another partner myself for about 2 years. There's been various levels of dating around all that too. |

No. But I had a great group of close friends for a few year when I was younger that looking back, if it was now we could have called it poly or something close.
Good times and good friends. (I hope they think the same every now and then. )  |

Hi queen, I was in one a few years back. Met a really lovely woman on okcupid. She was totally open about being in a relationship with her husband and another guy. I absolutely loved it about the 3rd date I met the husband (a really nice guy) and his poly partner. Soon after when things were going really well I joined her and the kids for a family bbq. Kids were about 12 ish. I’ve never met two kids who were so secure, intelligent and happy. They were fully aware and accepting and a pleasure to be around. They would even ask me to join them on days out. It felt as if I had gained a close relationship with the entire family rather than just a new girlfriend. Sadly the travelling made things so awkward otherwise I’d still be in it as it was such a nice lifestyle

Yes. All you need is 
Set your dynamic to how you both want to, that's the awesome thing about being poly. It's whatever you both feel it needs to be, not one set way
Have a look at all the different types of poly relationships and take from the ones that fit for you  |

What are the different types? I think I’ve always been poly open. I’ve heard about polysaturated so I try to focus on 1 main and max 1-2 others at at a time. |

It doesn’t have to be that complicated. My partner and I have 2 ground rules.
1. Be safe, do go doing anything stupid for for a kick
2. Our time together is precious, so when we’re both home together we don’t arrange to play away.
We’ve stuck by these for 13 years and still going strong. |

Google is your friend, there are over 10 different dynamics and it's what you want to take from any of them.
Time and availability of both parties leads to polysaturated. I lead a solo poly life as you know, with my stable of playmates. Crossing over into partners is not something I'm looking for. Deeply loved friends who I spend quality time with, sharing and nuturing each others personal lives is my choice. I just don't want to share a home or finances with anyone |
