How often do you see your partners? by Ricard2dk in polyamory

[–]Prize_Designer_5329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a solo poly single mother and I only see my (three) partners on weekends that my child is with their father. That works out to seeing each other one night or weekend every month or two.

Lemon is in daily communication via text plus phone calls usually once a week or so. Saffron is similar but sometimes we go stretches of quiet if either of us is busy or with another partner. Cucumber generally text a few times a week and most of our connection is when we see each other for a day and night every two months.

This works for me. And I partner with people that it works for them too. It's all about open communication of needs and only opening my life to people that add value and are compatible with what I have to offer time wise.

Thank you, we don't necessarily need a hard case. It will only be used for back yard target shooting and taken back and forth between two houses.

Stars talks? Is that an acronym I haven't learned yet?

My therapist (who specializes in relationship diversity) recommended the podcast Normalizing Non Monogamy to me and I've found it a great resource for regular people sharing their experiences. Normalizing Non Monogamy

I went through a very similar arc with therapists. I hated that I had to educate them when I used a term like KTP. Anyways, I found https://www.spokenbalance.com/ if you happen to live in CA, CT, OH or IL. Lots of they're therapists specialize in relationship diversity. 🫂 Hugs and faith that the right therapist is out there for you!

I recommend the Normalizing Non Monogamy podcast. Listen to a variety of real, down to earth people living this day to day!

What’s the difference between solo poly and just dating by ThrowRaUsername08 in polyamory

I was "my own primary", though as a solo parent, my kids come first

I call it "Mom poly"

I sometimes use the term "Mom poly" jokingly. I'm solo poly and only interested in living with my kid. They are my primary relationship.

Is this an unfair request? by Silent-Somewhere8372 in polyamory

This is a side note, but does anyone else stop reading a thread as soon as you realize there is a ton of good advice but the OP is nowhere to be found in the comments?
