oh, wow, that's so cool that you made this post just now. I've had a post brewing in my brain about polyamory for the last few days (maybe a week). I'll try to keep this comment-length and save the truly wold rambling for my own LJ, but
( ... )
I like how you mentioned that it feels like it's about balance. That's kinda how I feel too. I feel like (for ME) a two-person relationship is wobbly -- like if you had two pegs connected by a wire, they'd be pretty easily pushed over. But if you have three pegs, connected in a triangle, it's not as easy to fall.
Something interesting that a lot of people against more-than-two-person relationships bring up is how much more work it would be. How much more communication you need and how hard it would to devote yourself to two people in the same capacity, but I think that's kinda silly. I'm of the mind that just because one more person than "normal" is involved, doesn't make it much different. A traditional relationship and a nontraditional one would take the same amount of dedication/communication/openness/etc.
Oh oh! Ok, I suck at in depth responses right now, but I agree. Totally. *feels understood*
Also, hurry up and make that post, lady *pokes you* :)
