It took mathematicians a couple of centuries to solve the three-body problem, and that without the coplications of emotions.

That's a fancy way of saying I've got my hands full with one gal.

I say let people do what they want. Having multiple partners is probably not sustainable in the long term, but we don't need to confine ourselves to one exact mole of man + woman in lifelong marriage. Anymore than we need to confine ourselves to only dating people of the opposite sex, or embracing whatever body parts we were born with, or anything else. Do what makes you happy, as long as you aren't hurting anyone else.

My husband and I have a polyamorous relationship. If we ever decide to go back to being solely monogamous, then it'll be our decision. We've left ourselves an out. And we also have a lot of trust. It doesn't work for everyone, but the world would be a boring place if everyone worked the same way.

One time I asked my wife to talk dirty so she called me a cocksucker. I never asked again.

She nailed it on the first try, though.

I've had my polyamorous moments.

Although it seems usually I tend to be of the mindset that I could (in theory) fuck many people but only love one person (romantically) at a time... I could imagine myself in a polyamorous relationship.
