Ask the Readers – In Poly, do all partners have other partners?
Dear lunaKM,
I am researching the poly lifestyle. I am looking for opinions on whether or not poly means both sides of the slash should be able to have other partners. Is there any iron clad rule about that? Thank you.
There is no iron clad rule about any relationship style. If the partners all agree to have or explore other relationships then they will likely have other partners. Not all poly relationships have that structure. I am monogamous and my partner is poly, so I don’t have other partners. But, I don’t consider myself knowledgeable enough about poly to answer fully, so I’m going to open this discussion up to my readers.
What do you say? Can you answer this reader’s question? How do you negotiate partner in poly?
