Hi All-

Was just curious if anyone has had any experience with polyamorous relationships. I was polyamorous in which I can best describe as a 30 day trial. It extended into about 90 days and immediately afterwards I concluded that polyamory is a lot of work!! So hard to coordinate your schedules, let alone your emotional connections, and intimate interactions. I am open to exploring other relationship models than just your standard monogamous relationship, but whatever relationship model one chooses has its own set of challenges and rewards. Has anyone forged a path with an alternative relationship model and found a successful and conscious way to share intimate, congruent and loving relationships with more than one person?

Or is anyone else, like me, open to exploring these other models and would like to discuss them here?
