Sure! I develop emotional attachments to people quickly and easily... which isn't necessarily a good thing. On the one hand, it means I make friends with the people I meet day to day fairly easily. On the other, it's made our search for potential playmates a little difficult because most people we come across don't want any emotional attachment at all (understandable) but I'm having difficulty being sexually attracted to people without actually getting to know them, knowing that they only want a one-time only, preliminary type of encounter. Does that make sense?
Being poly to me is about the emotional attachment and personal growth that develops, and the relationship may or may not include sex. It's about sharing life & love with deep, meaningful attachment with more than one person at a time. And that's just not something I'm willing to struggle through any more (I guess you can say my priorities are different now). Once upon a time, maybe. But it's risky behavior considering that I already have a husband (we've been together since 15, married since 19) and now 2 young kiddos that I'm putting 110% of myself into loving and caring and providing for. I'm very happy with the loves of my life, and don't want to complicate things any further by falling in love with others.
My hubby doesn't share this type of mindset with me at all, lol. But he understands it. Heck, sometimes he understands it (and me) better than I do! He'd probably be able to explain it better as well, but he doesn't talk or type much
