Are friend off limit on open relationships?


Recommended Posts

Ask your partner not a bunch of strangers..
That would depend on whose friend it is. Her friends are always off limits without permission. Why simply because you don't shit where you sleep.
Generally, in polyamory, the consensus is that poly ***ps have autonomy, meaning they can date whoever they want. Now, while partnered, you can talk to your partner(s) and discuss feelings on the matter. You still have the right to date whomever, but knowing your partners feelings can help guide you through potentionally sticky situations. Your partners may put up boundaries, but remember their boundaries are for THEIR response to your actions. They can say "I want you completely happy, so if you're interested in my friend go for it, but I will ask to be parallel. If we can't be parallel, I will step back from us". Something along those lines.
Yes and no, for my relationship. Depends on how close the friend is, if there super close no, but if there just a mutual acquaintance then yes
Yes because jealousy is a bitch and it could ruin what you already have. Unless if it's a three sum with ur girls BFF scene like highschool/ college
In my experience it really depends on the bond between you and your partner. But it's also rational to consider that friend may no longer be a friend if things go sour. Strong communication can yield pretty good results.

So from my experience I was a friend with the girl for years never really knew the boyfriend except a couple time we saw each other at entertainment work events there was a healthy barrier established that I respected and for a while it worked out fine

Yes. I don’t like my private life known to my friends and family
Yes - too close for comfort for the level of intimacy, in my opinion.

I know this member deleted their account, but f*** yes. I don't want to hit up my friend and then find that they can hang out 'cause they're busy just so I hit up my partner and find out if they can hang out because they're busy doing my friend. That would make me feel really bad. .... But if I meet one of my Partners of the Partners and a friendship happened, that would be a little different and you couldn't get jealous.

Friends and family are off limits on both sides of the slash. I ended a dynamic for *** of this rule.
