22.Discover whether polyamory is really right for myself or not Maybe I'm just deluding myself? Sapphi and I have an open relationship, but I don't think you could really call any of the other partners we've had a truly poly relationship. They've all been rather one-sided, and even if intentions were good they seemed to degenerate quickly into friendships or FWB situations, on both our ends, and sometimes to the chagrin of the partners I've had in the past. Perhaps we just have something unique that works for us, and that's what matters. I'm considering this one done.
