Saves on rent and easier access to leftovers. As a polyamorous person myself there is an aspect where you appreciate being part of the destruction of the standard liberal American relationship model as well.
ive been living with my wife for like 20 years i couldnt imagine not having someone in another room i couldnt have a quick adhd stim where i have to run in there and tell them the interesting (to me) thing i just heard real quick like im 5 years old
youd think 20 years of her sighing and pausing her tv show to hear me out (and not be interested in it all) would have driven her away by now but this is our routine and im not changing at this point in my life so
Can relate. For a while I was going literal months without getting an hour (even a minute )alone at the place. Both my roommates finally held some stable work over the holidays and it was amazing.
Thankfully yes, though I can’t always keep it closed because my cat gets nosy, then loses interest, then gets nosy again. I can ride the high I got from having 5 hours to myself last month, but it can be really needling to live with introverts that work part time.
Might plan out a camping trip in the spring just to get away from people.
I can feel the void left by this deleted comment. When I saw it I immediately said, “oh no, not like that” in my head. I am just going to assume we shared the one brain cell for a moment and not actually investigate.
I don’t necessarily want to live with someone I’m dating, at least in the early stages? Not all polycules are super committed relationships, or not everyone in the polycule is ay the same stage.
its not my lifestyle but from the few people irl i know who do the poly thing its generally like this there is a primary couple and then like 2 or 3 people who are part of it but those people are a bit more casual it seems… i dunno
What’s the point of a polycule if you all live in different places? Damn, that’s so much money wasted on rent.
What’s the point of a polycule if you all live together?

I enjoy my family but I also enjoy being alone
I enjoy being alone, but I don’t enjoy it as much as the 50% of my pay cheque that would otherwise be going to rent
:yea:

Did you had your own room at least?
