Poly rambling, continued (bonuses of being poly)

Now that I screw up less often, what benefits and joys do I find in poly involvements that are specific to that type of relationship?

Awesome article

I love your article. From one of those romantic polys not really focused on the sexual side, I don't hear much about those that are open primarily for, or more focused on the sexual aspect. I too love compersion and am one of those weird people who have never known jealousy, and I love how when I feel the new relationship excitement, it spills over into my marriage and all my relationships get the benefit. Keep writing, living, and loving.

Hmm, all of this sounds well...pretty cool and interesting. I guess you just have to have a certain headspace to make it work.

*nod* It's all about finding the ways of living that suit one's individual psychology.

This is really interesting. I live with two adamantly poly couples, and it's wonderful to understand them better. Generally, I help them snarf through the less-pleasant parts.

*nod* One of the things I like a lot is that practice doesn't make perfect, but it sure does improve things! When I think back on the multitude of ways we screwed up in order to learn our lessons back in my 20s, I have a huge appreciation for how calm things are 95% of the time now.
