I Am Poly

A very good presentation of why polyamory suits some people (And others not).

Thank you for sharing this. I found it interesting. You know some of my story. I learned in a painful way it’s possible to love more than one person at the same time. Had he and I been able to be together, I don’t think I would have wanted anyone else. However, with my current situation, I’ve been thinking about and learning about polyamory lately, and this TEDtalk was helpful to me.

@ChampagneOnIce I am glad you found it interesting (I have more to share if you want). And I know that your situation, like the one I was in have forced us to reconsider the formats of relationships we have been fed as 'normal'. As I listen and discover conferences and reads on the subject of poly, I do find in it a lot that echoes with my own ethics and instincts regarding relationships. I agree it is not for everyone, and I think even monogamous people can benefit of a discussion on the choices they make. We are far too often afraid to discuss this and assume monogamy is the only option.

@MrSquishy thanks. I agree with you. I’m not sure poly is the way we’ll go, but it’s something I want to better understand so we can find something that works for us.
