This is interesting. I can't ever imagine it working for me, but as long as it works for you, that's the important thing. I can imagine it being very difficult to live in a society where the norm is to be monogamous. I suppose many people just cannot wrap their head around poly relationships, which is why they receive so much judgement. It's unfair really.
I'm not liking the sexual orientation comparisons. The only similarity I see is that being bisexual/gay is not what is considered the norm in society and that you don't choose to be straight/bi/gay in the same way that you don't choose to be mono/poly. (Note that I mean choosing to want that/be attracted to that; I don't mean choosing to be in those type of relationships - you do choose be in a mono/poly relationship in the same way you choose to be in an opposite-sex/same-sex relationship).
The reason I'm saying that is because of a previous commenter saying that bisexuals are usually poly. As a bisexual monogamous person, this stereotype is very frustrating. As soon as I come out as bisexual, people often assume I want to be in multiple relationships with men and women, and that I do not want to commit to one person. I'm not saying there is anything wrong at all with being poly (if I was poly, this wouldn't really be an issue as it would be true for me), just that sexual orientation and monogamy/polyamory are two very different things.
Anyway a question: What is your view on monogamous people? Do you wonder how we can only commit to one person? The thought of committing to more than one person to me personally feels very bizarre and nearly impossible. Do you feel the same way about monogamous relationships for you?
