Does it work?

January 08 2019

I've only met two poly groups before. Neither worked out for long.

In one case, it was one bloke with what seemed an unhealthy influence over a group of women slightly younger women. It fell apart because no one trusted each other.

In the other case it was basically a couple but the chick had other dudes round. That lasted until the guy realised what had been plain on his face the whole time - he hated the idea of sharing.

Does anyone know any success stories? Life long relationships sort of thing?

    I know of at least one long term, a few not as long term and many many more short term or still looking.

    Harder than finding a unicorn.

    So many looking for the poly setup but there are so many different expectations of people. Lets face it, there is challenges in making a standard relationship work, even more in open relationships. Three or more people entwined in a poly relationship and it goes off scale where an ordinary disagreement or wrongly matched idealism can rock the foundations of everyone related to the relationship/s

    I don't pretend to know all about it as it's something l could never entertain. Respect for those that try it but it's a rocking horse poo search

    Rocking horse poo search is my new saying. Thank you for your insight and the catchphrase.

    Several of my friends are in long-term poly relationships, some with kids and all. Kudos to them, I have a lot of respect for how they share their love and all the practical details, as well as the equality and communication within the relationship(s).
    Not for me personally (I'm not a people person and can barely cope with one partner, let's face it), but !

    In my case and my wife's case it's simply a matter of loving more than one other person, separately.
