An offline discussion brought us to write down our open relationship rules to be shared with others. While we know exactly what they mean, I wondered how (for their terseness) clear and unambiguous they might be.

If it makes any difference, we're on the "poly" side of things, preferring long term friendships.

Comments on our word smithing, please?
