- I think you are comming at this with some inaccurate pre-conceptions. A
- poly relationship is not just something to be tried when monogomy isn't working.
- Our relationship has always been poly, it's something we talked over and
- agreed on very early, although there have been longish periods when it has
- been monogamous. By and large these periods of apparent monogamy have simply
- been times when other relationships haven't been in progress.
-
- I would turn your question on its head and ask 'just beacause your are in
- a realtionship which you are happy with (or at least not bored with), why
- should this preclude you or your SO from pursuing other relationships ?'
-
- From my experience, other relationships very much add to the pleasure of a
- primary relationship rather than substituting for it.
