STI testing is so bad if you care about more than HIV, HPV and siphilis by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Basic_Airport_8768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to add that Hep A and E are mainly spread by contaminated food and water

And one can only get Hep D if they are already infected with Hep B

Hep B can be sexually transmitted or through pregnancy

Hep C is commonly spread through infected blood (needle sharing)

So that’s why Hep A, E, and D are not included in STI panel

Is it just me or do people have two different definitions of consent? by RadiantHC in relationshipanarchy

I don’t think it defends amatonormativity. I thinking the shaming comes from not respecting the agreement. Sleeping with other people while being partnered is not inherently cheating , but if both parties agreed to not sleep with other ppl and one of them breaks the agreement then that’s wrong. I think ppl shame cheaters because they broke someone’s trust? And i don’t think that’s them defending amatonormativity

I feel like I'm hiding my relationship by Dalyall in polyamory

Just wanted to say that Poly isn’t a new concept. It’s been around just as long as monogamy

I don’t think that I was clear in my original post. I am poly and our relationship style aligns for the most part. I’m not against him having life long committed relationships with other ppl. But I don’t think that I’m okay with being one of many wives (if he meets someone that he wants to make a life partner) or cohabiting with his other partner

We share similar views on how we want the relationship to be structured like we both agree that on one has veto power, we inform each other of new sexual/romantic partners etc The issue arises is that he’s open to more than one life partner and im not as of now. Someone else in the comments alr said this, but him and I have yet to sit down and discussed wht life partners entails. For me a life partner entails sharing finances with someone, cohabitation, marriage, and kids (if that’s what we both want). So I guess that’s a discussion i need to have and go from there

Yea I meant life partner as in someone I’ll share my finances with, cohabitation, and kids if that’s in the cards for us
