Polyamorous

This is a word I did not know. I read it on someone's blog here and had to look it up because it did not understand the context in which they used it to describe themselves. As I was commenting on one of my blogs, the conflict of this word came into my mind. As such, I wanted to comment on the persons blog, but I could neither remember who wrote it or find the original blog from whence I read it.

I looked the word up and was enlightened to its meaning. But there are limitations of understanding for me. With an open mind, I run through the logistics of that word and found a insurmountable wall for this to reconcile itself with my thinking. This is neither bad nor good and just my own moving throughout the world as I decide what is right for me in my world. I mean, I give so much to the three people (wife and kids) present in my everyday life. With them, sports and work, with this concept, somebody is going to get robbed of a part of me.

Tonight after dinner I sat on the couch with my son. We sat there talking a little, and at one point I said to him, "I like hanging out with you, even though we may not be doing anything exciting, I just like being around you". Kids can be of little words sometimes and he just smiled. He got me though. So what would this word make me miss, I guess it could have taken that time from my son if I was so inclined.

Frankly, I don't think I could love another woman like I love my wife. And that's not a line in the sand. My wife and I have even said, we could love another again if tragedy struck, but it would never be like ours, because we are what makes ours.

So I turned to the expert and googled "dan savage Polyamorous" and this was on the first page. I like this dude, real talk.

Doing a couple of click throughs got me to this. If your insatiable or restless this sounds like heaven, if things are good though, this just looks like a lot of work to pull off. Time and a need I don't have. Just the insight alone was worth my hour though.

Mind you, this isn't negative to Polyamorous, only that I don't see the fulfillment reward.
