Sigh... Another thing I really doubt I'll ever get- a throuple of myself, a femboy and a tattooed anarchist punk with green hair, who's just rlly cooooool.

That is a highly specific matchup you are aiming for. Might happen if you loosen the hair colour or tatoos criteria.

[–] TerranFenrir@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Haha yeah ofc ofc. It's just uk... a fantasy...

Basically, I have a crush on this fellow from a comic I really like.

Really? I always figured that throuples were very rare (where all partners love each other equally without there being a "main couple" dynamic). Like... How do you even go around dating for a "throuple"?

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

No idea. I am as basic as they come in regards to relationships.

There are a lot of different types of poly relationship structures and different names for them. The base unit of relationship is a standard couple where 2 people are together. Add another person in and they can either be in a relationship with only one of those people and form a "hinge" aka "V" or be in a relationship with both of those people and form a "triad" aka "throuple". As many people as those involved consent to can be added this way.

Most of the time it's one person who is in a relationship with multiple people who are each in relationships with multiple people. This forms a "polycule". Where you have the people you're in relationships with aka your "paramours" and they have the people they're in relationships with aka your "metamours". This group of relationships can take many forms and can be drawn out into a cool diagram like a molecule, hence the name polycule.

The people you're in a relationship with can break up with you like in any other relationship and vice versa. It's more complicated when you add in housing situations if you're all living together, multiple people are all dating each other, or if two people are married.

Using one of my breakups as an example:
I've been in a triad where one person broke up with the other. I was then put in the middle of their breakup drama. I set a boundary of not wanting to deal with their drama/shit talking of the other. One of them kept breaking that boundary, so I broke up with that person while still being in a relationship with the other. Luckily I was living with the person I stayed with or that would've been way more complicated.

Man I can’t even form a diatomic bond and y’all mfs getting polysaccharides and shit

[–] jecxjo@midwest.social 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I dated a free radical once. Nothing but broken bonds left in her wake.

I thought myself noble, a gas at social gatherings. But, always ended up alone. As if I had a shell that kept people out.

in case anybody who doesn't know, poly doesn't mean everyone is dating each other. Someone in a poly relationship can date someone who has no interest in dating their other partners. ofc a good rule of thumb is that everyone in this metaphorical web should be able to sit down and have dinner with each other without being mean or violent with each other.

While this is certainly a valid form of romance, it's more accurately described as "non-exclusive simultaneous relationships" than a single "polyamorous relationship".

Some people really do live in multi-partner committed households, but those seem most often to be dominated by a single person, such as fringe Mormon polygamy. And the most common form of "polyamory' is probably "affair-tolerant monogamy."

It's a big complicated world, and variations of how humans with form intimate relationships fills all possibilities when there is no enforced legal prohibition. (And,.sometimes, even then.)

[–] vapeloki@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As a poly person: no, it is not a "affiar-tolerant monogamy". That is an open relationship.

Polyamorous partnerships are far more committed. Also, sex is not always a part of it.

Of course there is the concept of a primary partner, but there are lot of poly folks that thislike this idea.

But what all of those relationships have in common: there is no case where only one partner is poly. All is about communication and consent.

And to the core topic: There is this thing like a polycule. A network of people with somehow connected relationships. Breakups in those structures are often consensual and no big fuzz. But if it gets dirty, at least in my experience, the offending member of the polycoule gets shown the door. And most of the times, those are the new ones. People that think the could convince their partner to get monogamous because they are the only one that is needed.

Sorry for the long post, you hit a nerve there ;)

Imagine getting broken up with by 2 people, both with non-binary haircuts. I'd probably jump into a river and become a trout
