Polyamory blog by mid-thirties Philosophical Chick

All my life I knew Monogamy felt wrong for me. In 2001 I happened across information about Polyamory and resonanated with it immediately. This blog is about the challenges and thoughts that come about for a mid-thirties female Polyamorist who is also child-free by choice.

My vision of Primary and Secondary

These are the things I want of a Primary and Secondary. I'm willing to bend I suppose, but this is my starting list. Since I'm starting somewhat over, at least with the whole Primary role, I think this is a good thing for me to specify even if it changes:


    PRIMARY

  • Happy co-habitation
  • Sharing of home duties/financials
  • Practicing poly (ie: not new to it, not "wanting to try it", already experienced)
  • Partners take the time to get to know me, knowing full well my role
  • Takes the time to get to know my partners without insecurity and hiding
  • Self-confident, likes himself and is able to communicate clearly and caringly
  • Responsible for his own feelings and does not try to take responsibility for mine
  • Sexually exciting, responsive and open to new things
  • Happy with being child-free in our relationship
  • Emotionally supportive
  • Whatever 'escape' they have isn't used as a reason to not be something listed above


    SECONDARY

  • Co-habitation is an option but not required
  • Completely honest with other partners about me
  • Partners take the time to get to know me, knowing full well my role
  • Takes the time to get to know my partners without insecurity and hiding
  • Travelling partner/group for holidays
  • Emotionally supportive, accepting sometimes all I need is loving cuddles/touches
  • Responsible for his own feelings and does not try to take responsibility for mine
  • Sexually exciting, responsive and open to new things
