Yeah, weird, eh? I answered the questions assuming that it was a perfect world. Mr. and I are definitely not a poly couple in reality, but we grasp the concept of it. I believe that in the right circumstances and with the right group of people involved, it has a lot of potential and makes sense. I doubt that we'll ever find ourselves in such circumstances, though. Without even getting into all the external social bullshit polys have to deal with (families disowning you, losing friends, etc), my relationship with Mr. intuition requires a LOT of my energy. It's not a lack of love to go around, just energy. I would find an arrangement like this draining on my energy reserves whereas serious polys find just the opposite. They would find it to be restorative.

We had discussed the possibility of adding to our relationship, but concluded that - at least at this time - it just wasn't for us. It probably never will be, and I don't have an interest in developing a relationship with anyone else like the one I have with him.
