I think we need a definition of terms here.
Polyamorous--the word "amorous" is contained therein. As I define it, a core loving relationship that is widened to include other loving relationships.

Open relationship--core loving relationship widened to include other sexual relationships. Akin to swinging.

I think it requires an intensely mature, loving couple to enter into either arrangement unscathed. And I think interweaving between the terms "poly" and "open" is a mistake.

And Lurkette, I'm sorry if you take any offence to what I've said so far about marriage, but I am entitled to my opinion. I still don't understand why people enter into it if they have no intention of honoring the contract they've signed. And if you do have a polyamorous arrangement, you've taken on another emotional/sexual partner, and that is a breach of the original contract you entered.
