RE: The Honest Truth: My Unconventional Relationship
I hear you bro.
Polyamory requires quite a high level of sexual, emotional, mental and spiritual maturity, from all parties.
Personally, I feel that "rules" are what complicates any friendship. My longest lasting relationships have all been with "friends". As one transgresses though from friendship, into a relationship, then come all the rules and even worse, the implied rules, and associated, unspoken "expectations" that may not be understood by both parties.
Right now in my life, I aim for simple, and the further things get from simple, the more I'm aware, that I'm off track.
Nice share :)
Peace.
@bobaphet I really appreciate what you shared here. The word "expectations" is what stands out to me the most while reading this. This, in my opinion, is at the heart of most of my experience in poly. Things become simpler as I realize that I have wants and needs - and then expectations about those wants and needs. The more I detach from the expectation and focus more on communicating and making choices based on the responses I receive, the easier and simpler my experience becomes.
Lets chat soon bro!
