how can u be dating someone but not exactly be taken?? if u are dating someone u are taken It's a polyamorous relationship. He's got a fiancee; we've met and get along fabulously, everyone's fully aware of and consenting to the situation. He's got another couple peripheral involvements, she sees a few other men, and I'm open to see other people as well. |

We all have interests outside out relationships; in the case of my network, some of those interests happen to be other people. Monogamy is not the only valid relationship structure, and doesn't mean we're not in 100%. You can think whatever you like, but your opinion on my relationship counts for very little in my mind. |

That's not meant as hostility, simply curiosity. If you're actually interested, I'm happy to talk about it. |

I wasnt trying to be rude or mean in any sense
I just state what I wanna say and if u think thats a real relationship then it is in your eyes and who ever else believes that. I dont think it is and thats just how I feel |

I dont think it is and thats just how I feel So why the problem differentiating between "type of relationship I wouldn't want" and "real relationship"? How do you feel you can know how real my relationship is based on such extremely limited information? |

Swinging involves sexual connections outside a partnership, whereas polyamory involves multiple romantic relationships. There is a great deal of emotional attachment involved, and the relationships are ongoing. |

I would never approach an entire relationship structure with that view, and it baffles me that he thinks that's a valid approach to a new idea. I'm not attacking, but honestly curious. |
