Went to a fantastic session last night with my awesome friend Yvonne. Babeland in Seattle was hosting the ever-articulate Tristan Taormino and her Poly 201 session on poly relationships and what makes or breaks them. My notes from the session:
Key to dealing with NRE: patience, compassion, communication.
Key to dealing with poly time management: organization, Google calendar, negotiation skills.
It’s not just “you’ve got Tuesday nights;” time carries with it a tremendous emotional charge.
Key to dealing with poly micommunication: honesty, self-awareness, and (surprise, surprise) COMMUNICATION.
Disclose, disclose, disclose! You might not think it’s a big deal that your new girlfriend is a stripper, but your husband might.
Keys to addressing poly agreement violation: make explicit agreement with a checklist. Make a “gray area” rule.
Jealousy as a behavior is modeled and rewarded in our society. Too many pop culture songs, movies and TV shows make reference to someone “really” loving a partner if he/she gets jealous.
So let’s unpack jealousy: envy, posessiveness, competitiveness, feeling excluded, insecurity.
Re jealousy: when you think “someone is smarter than me,” you really mean “I am not smart enough”
Solution to jealousy: face your fear. Take it out to dinner. See it for what it is.
Harness NRE for good and not evil, knowing it will come back to your existing relationship. When your partner comes home all hopped up on endorphins, jump him!–Selfish person’s guide to NRE
