i feel that many folks who are poly are actually pompous and arrogant. they love to brag about how open they are in life. kind of like the gluten-free and cross fit people. i understand how it could work in some circumstances but that is more rare than not. we all have needs including the want to keep our relationships happy on all ends. humans can't control emotions as much as we think. i wish that wasn't the case.

Hey Kim
Avatar 7:12pm
Heather:

Wow Jared, thats an interesting opinion.
  7:13pm
MrDan:

We can't control emotions. What we can do is control how we react to our emotions.
  7:13pm
jared:

oh i wanted to add that my only experience is meeting others on a common dating site...the poly daters were the most difficult to understand what they want out of life as a whole (not just dating)...and that's apart of dating and getting to know who you are about to (or not to) date. and i'm considered to be a very free spirit.
  7:15pm
jared:

exactly dan! you can only control your emotions until those emotions do what they do. a poly date's poly life broke apart once she started dating more openly. emotions kicked in, people got upset...etc
Avatar 7:16pm
Heather:

sounds like a lack of communication
  7:17pm
MrDan:

It happens. Perhaps some people have represented poly as being a perfect thing, but it's not. It requires work, and knowing how to do that work.
  7:18pm
MrDan:

Like any relationship actually.
  7:18pm
jared:

yes. and that happens, often it isn't lack of communication as opposed to one/both riding on assumptions. but as peoples' lives evolve, so does emotional maturity, etc...relationships come and go in many of our lives. just like dan said, poly can be a lot of work...because we're people and humans like to overthink.

As I understand it, being in a poly relationship requires a high degree of mutual trust and respect - which, come to think of it, are required in ALL good relationships.

Communication! The common denominator!

Heather:

True

Marc15:

That is why I could never be in open relationship. I’d be afraid that my partner would find someone “cooler than me” and I couldn’t put myself through that anxiety. I admire and respect the person being interviewed for taking the risk of being an open relationship

Tommy in Neversink:

I was in a commune abt 40 yeas ago where we tired a similar thing. It didn't work out ...there is no security in a relationship if mates have other sex partners
  7:24pm
MrDan:

Do you really have security in any other relationship? People cheat all the time.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:26pm
Tommy in Neversink:

No, people don't cheat all the time

mahall:
On Topic: We saw "Professor Marston and the Wonder Women" -- which is the story of the man who created Wonder Woman and the first working lie detector and the DISC psychological profile used in offices routinely to this day. He, his wife, and a student lived in a manage a trois for years-- when he died, the two women stayed together until old age. GREAT story, excellent movie.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:28pm
Tommy in Neversink:

The way they are talking about dealing with jealousy is what we did in our group....in then end I realized we we're kidding our self's.
  7:29pm
Emily:

Mahall: that's fascinating--I'll have to check that out!
Avatar 7:29pm
Heather:

I dont feel like we aren't being genuine with how we deal with jealousy. But I can see how others might fall in to doing what you are talking about @tommy
  7:29pm
Hypertoast:

@Tommy in Neversink, not to speak for @MrDan, but I'm pretty sure he meant that it's a common occurrence. And in my experience, I know more people that have cheated at least once in their life than haven't.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:30pm
chris:

i personally grew a lot when in an open relationship in my 20s. it was hard, and wonderful, and gut wrenching and tremendously rewarding. i understand more about love and trust now than i did. i communicate my needs better than i did. i don't miss it, but i feel richer for having had the experience. perhaps i don't miss it because my current relationship (my wife of over 20 years) is so wonderful.

@queems : seems like a perfectly valid perspective to me

kimzilla:

I was surprised when talking about this topic to people this past week how many varieties of relationships are all around us but we aren't even aware, because most the time its none of our business. But in my humble opinion, poly, open, mono, whatever you are, that communicating what your rules are is the key, and to be comfortable evolving through your relationship.

thats what i find about relationships.. I don't feel a crow our relationship type for fear of stigma
Avatar 7:36pm
Heather:

But I do talk a lot about how communication is so important
  7:37pm
Hypertoast:

@Tommy, I figured. Sorry, I'm terrible at communicating this way.(wasn't trying to be rude or condescending) I guess I've only recently come to realize that so many people I know have cheated or are currently cheating on someone. So, when he said that you don't have security in a monogamous relationship, it struck me as true.
  7:39pm
MrDan:

You might be surprised how many people contact Heather through online dating sites who say they're in open relationships but are actually just looking to cheat because... they don't have a sex life with their spouse anymore
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:40pm
Tommy in Neversink:

Kimzilla...well the thing is when people have a poly relationship they have to set up a very complicated set of rules ...we did that in the commune I was in..These rules come about because they are in relatively unknown territory...or it's not the usual structure so they have to invent their own structure
Avatar 7:40pm
kimzilla:

I totally agree with Dan here. That the reaction to an "infidelity" or whatever rule is broken ends up being the be all end all.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:41pm
Tommy in Neversink:

Hypertoast...I didn't find anything the least bit offensive about what you wrote
Avatar 7:42pm
kimzilla:

@ Tommy, I am sure there are complex rules, but isn't that also, just laying out expectations, i.e. communicating? PS, commune, whoa, really?
  7:43pm
MrDan:

Communes would be an interesting topic for a show

Kim...I would love to talk about it
Avatar ♥ 7:45pm
Jeff:

When I was in my 20s, my partner and I decided as a theoretical intellectual matter that monogamy was just silly and bourgeois, so we wouldn't do it.

When we put that theory into practice, I was cripplingly jealous and insecure, which I sternly kept trying to force myself not to be.

I hadn't learned to consult my own emotional reality before acting on theory and wishful thinking, AND neither that ex and I had yet learned to communicate as well as people should communicate. All of that took decades of mistakes and work to get better at.

I define cheating as breaking a relationship agreement in regards to romantic and/or sexual contact it another person. In our particular case we're talking about sneaking and lying, yes
