Hello Polyam Comrades hexbear-polyam

Hopefully your week is starting off well. To help foster a safe and inclusive space for polaymory discussion, we wanted to provide weekly discussion topics! The goal is that we share our stories and our experiences, listen to each other, provide safe space for each other, and learn from each other. Please ask questions and provide answers in good faith only, let's be the wonderful communicators I know we all are.

This week's discussion topic is: What Does Polyamory Mean To You?

This is a pretty broad topic and should provide a great baseline for future discussion. I'm excited to hear what you have to share!

Please feel free to use this thread to suggest future discussion topics as well, ideas you have to foster a better community, or feedback you have about the community.

    I think polyamory is a pretty important rejection of the western family unit. The idea that you can only ever love one person, and you must never love two people at once, is very patriarchal, and mostly serves men - ensure that your wife can not leave you or find someone who treats her better. People accept that divorce happens because two people shouldn't necessarily get married, but polyamory is still way less accepted. I don't own my partner, and I don't own their love, and likewise them for me.
