Description

As we’ve repeatedly observed, relationship is a two-way street.  As such, a relationship can’t work if the two partners are not agreed as to their goals for the relationship.  If anything, significant differences in relationship goals will lead to ongoing friction at best, or to relationship dissolution at worst.

In this post, we’ll take a look at what sorts of goals one might have for a particular relationship.  In the context of polyamorous relationships, we’ll further develop the previously-presented notion of “broad” polyamory and “narrow” polyamory.  We’ll gain insight from a novel graphical tool that we can use to depict relationship goals.
