I’ve, personally, never had an unconventional relationship last. But? They were also exactly what I needed at the time, for where I was at.
3-somes, 4-somes, More-somes…
The same, tbh, can be said for conventional relationships. Whether 1:1 in the West, or polygynous in the East.
But there’s an extra “oomph” to be said for the unexpected.
Whether I’m the long term third for a married couple, or wholly third/polyamory, or polyamory, or ‘traditional’ for whatever region I happen to be in.
In retrospect? It seems like trauma broke my expectations/needs in a partnership and became very fluid / based on persons rather than norms.
I’m wondering if that’s just a me-thing (fair)… or a life thing.
