I'm in a similar kind of relationship, but more from your girlfriends side of things.
I live with a married couple, as in I rent a room from them. I met them a few years ago, when we got chatting in a chat room, met at a social, had a 3sum, and the relationship developed from there.
I wouldn't say we have a poly relationship, just a very good, deep friendship, but some aspects of the relationship are poly in the way things work.
The sex side of the relationship could end tomorrow, and it would make no difference to the friendship, I would still live here, and we would pretty much carry on as normal.
Its not a case of wanting more, and not willing to commit, I fully accept and understand that our friendship comes second to their marriage, and at no time would I ever take one side over the other.
If I started to develop feelings for one over the other I would leave straight away.
A lot of people couldn't do what we do, and I fully understand that. But we make it work by being open and truthful with each other.
It makes for interesting questions when we go to socials together anyway!!!
I've just realised I've totally rambled on, and not actually answered the question, so I'm going to be quiet now!!! |
