Do you consider yourself polyamorous?
Not really. Although both M and I have regular other partners, there's no regularity to the relationships, no arranged or set pattern to when we see them. Neither does either of us have anywhere close to the same feelings for others as we do for one another.
While for some the relationship that M and I have could and would be considered polyamory, we both feel that *for us* polyamory means you care for and treat all partners equally. Although M and I are not married, we've been together for a very long time, and many people just assume we are. Neither of us has that type of relationship with anyone else.
In your open relations with M, is there such a thing as "cheating"? -Amy
Absolutely. M and I are completely, 100% open and honest about each and every one of our sexual encounters. Who, what, where, how... all of it is out in the open. In detail. If either of us have ever disapproved of the others' choice of partner for any reason, we respect the other and don't carry on with that partner. The same goes for specific acts, whether it's a 100% blanket disapproval of certain acts, or a disapproval of a particular act with a particular partner.
If either of us ever hid a relationship or an encounter from the other, we'd consider it cheating and an absolute breach of the trust a relationship like this takes to work.
