SPREAD: Polyamourous Relationship (Adding A 3rd Partner)

[stephanielynch]

One unique problem in a polyamourous relationship is the idea of adding someone to an established family. Whether that is a family of 2 or more, the addition of even one more will add to and take away from the dynamics of that group. I looked for a spread that might be used for this, but found none. Then someone asked a similar question on

How very strange.. I woke up with this thought in my mind and your post is the first one on my flist..

[stephanielynch]

Well I hope it helped then! :)

My brain still kind of hurts trying to sort out the dynamics of that. I have enough trouble keeping up with my monogamous one!

Grin, 22 cards makes for a very involved spread. I tried to keep it simple, but simple goes out the window with one person much less two or three! :D

I think I'll stick with my format, so to speak. Boni always says that with an artist, you're getting a myriad of personalities anyhow. ;)

SNORT absolutely and utterly NO COMMENT on that one. :D

Very interesting work. I'm poly although the personal dynamics prevents living in a poly based household which is sad for me but that's another story entirely...

Anyway, as a poly I wanted to thank you for posting this. I've never had a problem adapting my readings to fit in with poly issues when need be but it's nice to see that someone is thinking of us

Thanks honey! :) I am trying expand my design horizons if you will. :)

The poly thing is something very foreign to me but as a gay christian I am not stranger to feeling misjudged and not understood. So I try to keep an open mind as others have done for me.

The nice thing about being a professional reader is that I can determine who I want to read for. I am very familiar with the poly lifestyle so it's not a hard one for me. I would be hard-pressed to read for an animal abuser though.

See, THAT is where I cross the line. Animals and children, because they aren't in a position to give the consent required. And it's just not right.

Nod. I have a kneejerk reaction to some brands of Christian as well. The ones who are open-minded enough to ask for a reading are fine. The ones who preach against me can kiss my ... well, grin, you know.
