like I said it may be a real relationship in your eyes and who ever else believes in that.
it may be real in your eyes and thats cool

but I do not believe its a real relationship and thats my thoughs and what I believe.

I am onw who is and always will be with one person,and when and if I meet that one person,that will be the only one I will be with.


being able to see different people,will never be a real relationship and thats in my eyes so if u are happy in what u are in,I am happy for u truly



but as I stated I wasnt trying to attack u,be mean or rude.I was just stating what I feel.that may not be what u feel.but it is how I feel

(((jason))) where u been? and ur not taken if ur not with one particular person..she sounds like a swinger.


Swinging is a different subset of non-monogamous relationships. 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.
ur not taken if ur in several relationships.

I guess that depends upon your definition of "taken". I max out around two partners, so I feel fairly taken at that point--I don't have the time and energy to maintain more romantic connections at a time than that. This varies by person.

taken is a committed relationship between 2 people not u and 2 to 3 other people..

Then again, my recent ex and I, while theoretically polyamorous, were functionally monogamous due to neither of us actually dating anyone else while we were together, and I was feeling fairly taken with him despite still being technically available.

Of course, I haven't had a nominally monogamous relationship in many years, so terms like "taken" don't mean all that much to me in general, and I tend not to like the hint of ownership I sense in the term.

Interesting. According to your definition?

What about people in polyfidelitous triads, for instance, where three people are in a romantic relationship with each other but don't date outside the triad? That's a 3-person relationship where the participants really ARE taken in a more traditional sense.

You're right, though, in a more open situation like mine, terms like "taken" feel rather out of place and don't particularly apply.

I don't disagree, I'm just saying that I feel a hint of that in the term "taken", which is why I suspect that I wouldn't like it even if I were in a monogamous relationship.

Again, I wonder how you have any idea how "real" my relationship is, and how anyone who hasn't even seen it, let alone is involved in it, can "know" that it isn't?
