I truly believe more people should be more accepting of polyamory

I was lucky enough to raise my four amazing children with three equally amazing partners. They all treated my children as if they were their own and I can't imagine a better life for my children. Of course the breakup was very tough on all of us but we are still very close with my ex-partners x

It's rare to find others who have had similar experiences, and apparently this site is good for that sort of thing x

This is my first post so be kind x

People are complex, it's too easy, and wrong, to only think 1 to 1 in relationships

@Patty81 yes exactly. Having a second or even third partner to turn to is wonderful x

@Patty81 It's [i]wrong[/i] to only think 1 to 1 relationship? I mean, perhaps some people need to be more accepting of [i]other[/i] people's polyamorous relationships, which I thought was originally what OP meant, but what's this judgement on people who like to be just 2 in a relationship about?

@Sheer I'm not judging if your in a 1-1 relationship, the same that I'm not judging those in poly relationships. For clarity let me change the word order: it's wrong to think a relationship is only 1-1

@Patty81 Oh okay I read it wrong, yeah that makes sense. Of course a relationship between more than 2 people is just as much of a relationship, as any other. There was also people who thought that a relationship between 2 women, or 2 men, can’t be regarded as a real relationship — there still are people who think so. Judgement tends to come from a place of ignorance. I imagine that there are also people who feel threatened by polyamory, particularly people who often deal with feelings of jealousy. I believe polyamory is simply natural to some people, and that anyone should be allowed to express their love and happiness in any type of relationship. :)
