Non-Poly people should not join poly familys. And where along the way did I lose my ability to be heard and make family decisions? Need to figure out what to do. Feeling more than a bit lost right now.
I'm dating a non-poly person. Said person is willing to be in multiple relationships, but isn't culturally polyamorous.
The significant effect this has is that I can't let that relationship look like a poly relationship--it could end at any time if she found "the one," for instance.
Which is all very much easier said than done. :-(
The two things I notice in your posting are: a) you could reword it, and say "Poly people should not permit non-poly people in their family." Which is the corollary, and actionable. and b) at some point you've got a set of individuals in specific relationships, and their identification or not with labels and norms isn't helpful in resolving issues.

I just know that I am currently feeling quite lost and uncertain of what to do and where to go or even what would be best.
