Relationships are often complicated. They entail meeting the needs and goals of people beyond ourselves--- people whose interests may sometimes take them in directions other than what we might prefer. The situation is complex enough in the case of a committed couple--- but it can become downright daunting in the case of managing multiple deeply-connected relationships.
In this post, we’ll explore some of the attitudes and behaviors that are necessary if one is to be able to nurture multiple simultaneous intimate relationships. Of course, this is a huge topic (since it involves considering the broad terrain of polyamory). For this discussion, we’ll confine ourselves to how to manage the interactions of multiple intimate partners.
