"Where there was no expectation of a 'happily ever after'." Delicious. This does not mean we can't be mono/poly. This does not mean we can't build together. One of the reasons why I broke up with my ex was cuz every time I said I love him he came back with a "you promise" or a "forever?" It made me feel so insecure. If I said it first time I meant it so why question it every single time? There are people who are divorced who thought they'd grow old together. There are the old who still end up divorced. I no longer want this expectation akin to a blood pact or what feels like I'm selling my soul to a significant other. "I am here with you in the present and commitment is a choice made every day." I do not want you feeling obligated to stand with me if you do not WANT to.
People go on first dates looking for commitment. Even when they don't mean to. Some are not interested in the prior stages because if it doesn't work out it's just a "waste of time". I want to enjoy the moment and no that does not mean just sex. Some people make commitment sound scary instead of something to look forward to or a possibility.
People seek out relationships trying to find the one. I'm currently on the boat of "for as long as you'll have me I'm with you." and vice versa.
2:29 aaannnddddd I’m good

This doctor is not it
Poly does not include a secret or "side chick" that a partner doesn't know about. That's just two-timing. xD
I can see if she meant they agreed to a poly relationship. However it wasn't poly if she was treating you like a secret.

"Not on camera." was the theme on this video. xD
