A big misconception I've seen with polyamorous relationships (lemmy.world)

So I’ve talked to so many people. Most people see a polyamorous relationship as a separate dating scene or small group 3-4. Though I just call em polys and specify later. For me we have came up a with a system called “Closed Poly”. Meaning everyone in the group is with everyone and if we wish to add a new member, Everyone has to agree.

Then we had to add another tier to the poly because I started adding siblings and parents of the other partners. So we had where everyone was with each. Then the blood relations was not together of course separated by polys. Though the blood relations are with everyone else but their relation. Currently 48 people.

I was with you in the first paragraph, but you lost me at "adding siblings and parents of other partners." Do you mean treating them like in-laws, or are the siblings and parents part of the relationship?

Hahahaa yeah I add the sibling and parents because why not as long as they’re an adult I can give them just as much love!!! Also I add people based on personality. so it’s hard not to add amazing people!

Not at all no one with blood relations has any emotional or sexual interacts like dating. Honestly it’s more or less a real funny thing for example my Daddy and his sister I call flower. They banter back and forth often about things related to me. Like I get really attach to people but some more than others which is very usual actually. As some people we added where pack deals so that’s their main attachment. Though for me my Daddy is staying at the top mainly but I got way deeply attached to his sister flower. The bantering back and forth is so adorable. She began calling him peasant boy and stuff.

Alright think of this way. As long as they’re an adult and consent to it of course. Love whoever you want!

Theoretically sure, but if my wife started going after my sister or vice versa I’d be pissed

Yeah that’s understandable not everyone can be the same as me as everyone has different views though I don’t think people should get hate for being able to love like this. That’s why I like making awareness.

I had to add I was also with his older brother but he ended that one lol. He hates his older brother but as long as didn’t harm his sister he didn’t exactly care. Since I made this aware, he knows how I treat people and love them. So he knows I will not harm her or break her heart. So within that reason he was more than fine with it for mainly that reason.
