Well said, Owl. That is pretty much how I feel, even though I have no problem with other people being polyamorous. I respect their decisions, self-knowledge, and strength of relationship. I just know that I don't have the "head space," or time, or whatever it may be, to sustain more than one amorous relationship. And that is fine with me, and ktspktsp too.
Ktspktsp and I had a long talk about this thread yesterday, and we have both always known that neither of us is much interested in the idea of polyamory for ourselves... but we talked about how other people manage it, and what it would take for us to manage it (we'd have to be entirely different people, pretty much!
) I am glad for the perspective that polyamourous couples/groups have given me here on TFP; thank you for sharing, folks.
