A big misconception I've seen with polyamorous relationships (lemmy.world)

So I’ve talked to so many people. Most people see a polyamorous relationship as a separate dating scene or small group 3-4. Though I just call em polys and specify later. For me we have came up a with a system called “Closed Poly”. Meaning everyone in the group is with everyone and if we wish to add a new member, Everyone has to agree.

Then we had to add another tier to the poly because I started adding siblings and parents of the other partners. So we had where everyone was with each. Then the blood relations was not together of course separated by polys. Though the blood relations are with everyone else but their relation. Currently 48 people.

I was with you in the first paragraph, but you lost me at "adding siblings and parents of other partners." Do you mean treating them like in-laws, or are the siblings and parents part of the relationship?

Strong Alabama vibes in here. Also why call any of that a relationship anymore? It's called an orgy on a schedule.
