To be honest I am in a Polyamorus relationship with my wife and she is the one that has the other partners. I do get jealous often times; however, on the other hand we have better communication and work out a lot of our issues in a more healthy fashion now because we have had to be more open about everything. While I am wired towards monogamy and have never wanted another woman (She is my first and only). I still love her and want to remain with her. It is difficult to explain. LOL and something that I never thought would come up here.
Aw you're so cute :3 So are you okay with her multiple relationships? Why do you choose to stay with her?
Er. Sorry for th emany questions. I've just never met anyone who's polyamorous! XD

I think we should only be in a monogamous relationships when it comes to him having multiple partners... but I am willing to be open it if is only me who has multiple male partners and he does not have anyone but me. lol that is the ideal situation 😀 😀

She is the only one I want. It is as simple as that. I have never dated any other girls before her. I never went after another girl before her. To be honest who knows if she will remain polyamorus the rest of her life. It doesn't matter to me. I accept her as she is and will love her and be with her till the end.

This may sound really crass, but aren't you at all concerned about diseases? 😐

That is a legit concern. I actually have set down rules concerning monthly testing not only for her but for anyone that she is involved with.

It's good you have these kind of rules, that way you're protecting yourself!! and everyone else...
I admire you for the guts you have for being in this kind of relationship!!!
Looking for this!!!

How people want to live their lives is their choice. I'll accept polygamy but I won't participate in it. Having a relationship with one person is already hard enough as it is...

i think if i was the one with different partners, i would be ok with polyamory but probably wouldn't allow my partner to do so... yeah i know it is hypocrisy.... and for other ppl they are free to do whatever they want...

First of all I have no right to dictate what other people should do, but you asked for opinion so...
Well I can understand people being in a relationship with more people at once...but i just see it as screwing around and having fun, I don't really see how something like that can lead to a family...
You can have feelings for more then one person at the time...but you gotta make up your mind...even that harem manga dumbass main characters eventually do decide on one person.
And if you mean living in the same house with your 3 wives? Can any of you ladies imagine that, I won't even comment on male version.
And for me it is a no...a big no, GF s*rewing with other people and me knowing about that and still considering her as my GF is a no. And that you don't love someone enough crap is plain dumb. I don't think i could be in love with a person wanting something like that...if emotional commitment was involved, even less so.
And i wholeheartedly agree with what Oka-san said about being it hard enough with just two people...
Now, maybe I'm harsh and I should join one of them workgroups, coz I'm obviously coming from a society/country that is not 'developed' enough to have its students spending their precious time on an important thing as a a Polyamory workgroup...>_>

No, I'm well aware of that...i was just trying to say they should use their time for more...productive stuff...like studying...or drinking... =)

Not for me, but if people are able to manage it well, then I don't have a problem with it.

it's a ridiculous comparison in the first place, 'cause gay-marriage is NOTHING on the same level as polygamy...in essence, same-sex marriage is still between 2 and only 2 partners like traditional marriage...50 years ago, interracial marriage was not allowed in the US, and that was plain discrimination....do we really have to wait for 50 more years until those narrow-minded, evil conservatives and christian-gone-crazy people to grant acceptance for same-sex marriage?
anyway, i disapprove of polyamory...though the relationship hasn't approached the "we're exclusive" conversation, i don't think going out with many people at the same time is justified
