  • Well said. I think all your points are valid and forward-thinking. I believe a monogamous non-married relationship fits me best with similar expectations:

    • We may grow apart at some point (and shouldn’t force it to work)
    • We may find someone who suits us better (it sucks, but we’re humans seeking a better tomorrow)
    • We dont own each other, or owe our lives (we are individuals with our own needs)

    Why a polycule doesn’t work for me:

    • Jealousy and other relationship drama that I dont want to deal with
    • My attention is divided among several people, my work, hobbies, etc. It sounds overwhelming.
    • There’s not enough time to remember everything about everyone, and that feels like a more superficial relationship.

    I met someone recently and discovered we have sexual compatibility, but not romantic. Hypothetically, I can see how having another person involved could fill that romantic need. Maybe one day.

    I had a dream this morning that I got a job working concessions at a movie theatre. Every time a customer came in to get a soda, an obnoxious alarm would go off. I reached a point I couldn’t handle it, I told the manager “I’ll finish out today, but Im sorry, the alarm those cups are making is too annoying.” The manager said “I’ll let you head out now, but that’s your own alarm.”

    It was my morning alarm.
