Thanks Hermes for this really in depth analysis of the subject. I wrote a story about my former coworkers' polyamorous situation, which I stated was as I stated, "a hot mess," but I don't see how it couldn't be. It's so hard to try and predict how your feelings are going to behave, no matter what the rules, restrictions and conditions that you lay down happen to be. But then again, what relationship in this society is easy anyway? I appreciate you sharing :-)
