Article about Poly Webisodes

**two4youinswva** · 03-09-2009, 07:13 PM

Seattle based "Family" webisodes no ordinary sitcom -Seattle Times

Don't think key-swappin' swinger parties or polygamy. Polyamorists say it's about committed (though often open) relationships with multiple partners (of whichever sex) and less about hooking up.

Hey, I finally contributed something to the Poly Forum!

Thanks for sharing. I hope some cable network bites on it. I love shows that test standard thinking.

"My sociological take on it is that it's challenging enough to handle one committed relationship with full honesty and openness, so when you bring more into it the complications are going to multiply exponentially."

I wonder how many fail because of this ?

I wonder what biological psychologists think of it

I didn't even think to post this here so, thanks for doing so.

I've watched all the episodes and wait on each new one to come out. They are fun to watch and being in a poly relationship, I have a couple of been there moments. I actually like the episodes and hope that they turn into something more.

Seattle has always looked like a place to live to me. It looks better and better.

I think most relationships fail regardless of if they are poly or monogamous (dating and marriages). One thing about poly relationships is that they are very fluid and constantly changing, even within long term committed people. So people move in and out of them and fulfill certain needs at that time. People have moved through our relationship over the past few years and we still cherish each and every one of them.

I also truly believe though, that a relationship isn't defined by it's issues, but rather by how the people in the relationship deal with them.

I love the series... I just wish they were longer episodes. Excellent stuff though... #7 and #8 were the best by far...

I haven't heard of or seen the episodes in question, I am off to read them now.

I am in a poly relationship and although I am the primary, it is always changing and ever evolving
