If your argument against #polyamory is that someone may steal your partner, the problem isn’t polyamory, it’s your relationship. As someone who loves you, I want your needs to be met without putting undue stress on myself to be your ‘everything.’ Polyamory is the acknowledgment that I may not be the only - or the best - partner to meet some of your needs, AND THAT IS OK.
I’m not worried that someone will ‘steal’ a partner because I’m not issuing ultimatums. You don’t have to choose between us.
@sentimentaldom I agree to an extent, with the caveat that, in some polyamorous relationships, stigma against expressing negative feelings like jealousy can lead to toxic or even abusive dynamics.
jealousy is a normal human emotion, and there *are* situations in polyamorous arrangements where it's justified for partners to feel jealous or neglected. (for example, when someone starts seeing a new partner and that changes the dynamic between them and existing partners in some substantial way.)
the important thing to recognize is that *this is normal,* and that it can be worked through and solved in healthy ways that take into account the feelings of all parties.
@sentimentaldom I love my husband. I also love my boyfriend and my Pup. I also love my Sir.
Whilst I may not be in a romantic relationship with my Sir, I cherish him as I do the others.
I love, and I am loved.
Everything else is a crazy mash of diaries and planning. 😂
