I've thought about this a lot, because frankly, I just don't see us in a Poly type relationship. But then, something hit me.

During my first marriage, years ago, we had a couple friend who we adored. We never swung with them, but we were very tight. If I called their house to talk to the Mrs. and the Mr. answered the phone, I could easily talk for 20 minutes to him before I ever got to speak to Mrs. I loved them both. The same thing with the other Mrs. and my ex ... if he was being a jackass, she would just snap him into place. They moved far away, and I cried when they told me they were moving.

I think that any couple could find themselves in a poly type situation. My friends moved away over 17 years ago, and I still miss them very much. I could see that if we had been in a swing relationship with them, that it would have been very intense.

I don't want to look for one ... I really don't want to maintain that level of emotion with more than one person. But who knows what might happen down the road.
