Polyamory

Cheating with extra steps.

"Did you hear Jacob and Amy are into polyamory?"

"So they're cheating on each other."

"Not they're not! Unlike cheating, they are both aware of their partner's sexual activities. They also set up rules to avoid jealousy and heart break."

"That's just cheating with extra steps."

polyamorous

Means "Many Loves". It means having multiple commited relationships with people you are mutally in love with, and everyone wants it to be that way.

This is not to be confused with swinging or multiple relationships, where you are sleeping with the other people or they are friends with bennies, whom you love. That is called non-monogamy, and to say it is polyamory is a lie.

"I told Brad I'm in love with him, and my husband Rick is very happy for us."
"That's cheating!"
"No, we're polyamorous. You can only cheat on rules that exist. We don't have an agreement to be exclusive. But an example of me cheating would be to not tell Rick that I'm in love, because the rule of honesty is right up there with the rule that the primary relationship comes first"
"I could never do that. I'm too jealous"
"Then don't."
"Are you sleeping with both these guys?"
"Now that I'm in love with both of them, yes. But you don't have to be having sex to be polyamorous, because what it means is that you are mutually in love with more than one person at a time. Most people do sleep with those they love, but sex is not what makes you poly"

Pelham

A neat town in deep southern Westchester. You can actually walk to Pelham from the 5-train like I did today. Cool place.

While everyone in Westchester claims to be 10 minutes outside the Bronx, this is literally true for Pelham.

Kitchen table polyamory

Kitchen table is a style of polyamory that places emphasis on family-style connections among the people involved in a network, whether they're romantically involved with each other or not. The name comes from the idea that everyone involved would be comfortable gathering around the kitchen table for a meal.

Friend: where's hubby tonight

Me: he is out at his gf's place

Friend: you're cool with his gf?

Me: yeah we practice kitchen table polyamory
