Being poly is hard sometimes

Other poly people don't just fall out of the sky. Finding and maintaining these relationships can be hard.

I think its the nature of these situatuonships.
Unless you are part of the core pair of a group, its more a flow than a forever 🤷‍♀
Which is a bummer coz it has the potential to be a great functioning family unit in these harder times.

@OogieBoogie It always seems to be a couple going with a third (usually a woman). Couples almost never go with a man for the third to have a poly connection unless he's rich with a big duck, etc.

@zonavar68 the poly's ive known have been more that that, (4 and 7).
I wasn't in them - freinds were.

But they were really dynamic, there was always some stress from someone going on.
Seemed exhausting to me.

A duo relationship is hard enough without more.
I think people need to have a hi EQ for them to work.

@OogieBoogie unfortunately yes many poly groups are flow and don't last. Our polycule is great but we found our people and remain closed now. And omg yes!!!! Unicorn hunters are the WORST!
