Neighbor’s are best once the niceties and small talk have failed and we ghost each other. Then we can come and go and don’t feel obligated anymore to keep up the pleasantries. Works for me.

I had to read that twice.

What happens at home, stays at home.

If you don't get along, I might invest in popcorn machines.

Polyamory specifically refers to people who have multiple romantic relationships at the same time. It does not mean any type of open relationship that may include more casual sexual partners. In many polyamorous relationships, each partner is aware of the other ones.Jun 29, 2021

So does this mean that Doc is also at risk? Or no.
I think he's trying to work his way into your heart.

And maybe Violet can find it in her heart to join.

Resistance is futile!

Isn't the "triangle of lust" an old fashioned term to call that specific place down there ?
That"s probably how i would call it during the 19th century.

Polyamory (from Ancient Greek πολλοί (polloí) 'many', and Latin amor 'love') is the practice of, or desire for, romantic relationships with more than one partner at the same time, with the informed consent of all partners involved.

I am completely and utterly single at the moment and couldn't be happier.
Rest assured, Doc is quite safe! haha

To me, it's the capability to love more than one person at a time.
In my opinion, it is very unrealistic to expect one person to be your absolute everything.

What if I don't like going to movies? Does that mean you can never go and see a movie??
NO! It means you can enjoy a movie with someone else and then come home and tell me all about it.

What if I don't like shopping? Does that mean you can never enjoy shopping with a partner again?
NO! It means you can enjoy the shopping experience with someone else and bring me back something cute.

If I love someone, I never want them to feel trapped. I want them to feel empowered and free.
I offer what I have to give and if that's not enough, they are welcome to go and find those "missing pieces" elsewhere. Or even if it is enough, don't ever close off your heart to love. Why would you?? There's enough love to go around for everyone.

I don't see jealousy as a positive emotion - it's destructive and completely unfun.
If I love someone and I see them having fun, even if it's not with me, it makes me feel warm inside to know that they are happy, even if I am not the one making them smile in that exact moment.

That's what polyamory means to me.
