Well, the nice thing about poly is that.. they do! As you can still date the same people they're dating!

Just wait till they unionize

Nobody, which is why poly is exclusively for people with a scheduling kink.

But yeah, I've never met a poly person who would bring three of their partners to a single event and introduce them all as their girlfriends. In fact, I don't think I've ever met a poly who calls their partners "girlfriend".

I was in a poly relationship. I called my girlfriend "girlfriend" and she called me her "boyfriend," and she also called her other boyfriend "boyfriend" and he called her "girlfriend."

It was a great, genuinely healthy relationship, and Kyle was an excellent dude who always treated our girlfriend excellently

Can I acquire a scheduling kink?

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It depends... when are you available?

[–] ellabee@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I've allowed my partner to refer to me as girlfriend to make discussion with others easier. I don't love it, it doesn't sound like a longterm adult relationship, but I recognize it's easier to say "my wife and my girlfriend".

and both of us go to family Christmas, though not everyone needs to know relationship status.

... you're absolutely right about the scheduling thing though.

Late 20s it's kind of doable, at least for awhile. But usually they don't know each other, lol.

I had three girlfriends for a while in my late twenties in that I was the guy they hooked up with when their primaries were out and they were feeling lonely / jealous. Not a great gig, as I was getting laid way less than I would have liked.

Curiously, my flat-mate's boyfriend, who was getting plenty, was envious of my poly adventures, maybe imaging more of a harem lifestyle than I actually had.

PS: Only in my late forties did I ever become comfortable letting my parents get news about my love life, by which time it had stabilized.

It's not unusual if you're poly

[–] MTLion3@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Faaair, but that seems more than a little rare lol

The real question is how do you pull 3 girls at the same time?

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

The use of "three of my girlfriends," instead of something like "my three girlfriends," makes me wonder if she's got more
