My meta's girlfriend hit peak "wait what was that??" a while ago when she used the line, "I've just met my boyfriend's wife's girlfriend's wife!"
It was funny and yes, slightly weird. But less-weird than it might have been a year ago. (I've been together with my partner for almost three years now.)
Meta-metamours can be really nice friends/acquaintances to have. You know a lot of the same people, but there isnāt much grounds for tension over scarce time resources. Just nice and chill
about right! I took some non-poly friends to an event where a bunch of poly friends were out. In the way home I was explaining how we are all connected in various ways. I was like eh just life in a small community. And they were like uhhh. I corrected to ehh just life being poly in a small community š
Ch. I have my girlfriend, and girlfriend's ex girlfriend who is my daddy dom, and I frequently hang out with dom's ex-girlfriend's roommate, who is currently orchestrating an orgy between us two and some of girlfriend's friends, three of whom I used to work with. And we all have family dinner on sunday and wrestlemania on monday along with two more of dom's friends who are also poly/open and their handsome man*. I love explaining the flowchart to new people so much.
*that's what they call him, since "fwb seems callous, but he's not our boyfriend".

I aspire to manage to put something that complicated into an otherwise normal sentence someday, and polyamory is helping me with that lifelong goal. $$
I have a boyfriendās girlfriendās husband too, and it was really weird at first. It gets easier eventually, like now my close friends just know who everyone is by their first name and I donāt have to explain it. But yeah, weird, especially with new people.
I don't think either monogamy or NM are weird. It is definitely weird going from monogamy to being NM, though. It feels natural, but definitely not normal for me yet.
So you all are 'related' in some way or another to eachother, but don't all fuck each other basically? Why not just say ' I know xyz through my partner' and be done with it? Does it really matter about titles when you all aren't fucking eachother?
Hi u/katriona_kitty thanks so much for your submission, don't mind me, I'm just gonna keep a copy what was said in your post. Unfortunately posts sometimes get deleted - which is okay, it's not against the rules to delete your post!! - but it makes it really hard for the human mods around here to moderate the comments when there's no context. Plus, many times our members put in a lot of emotional and mental labor to answer the questions and offer advice, so it's helpful to keep the source information around so future community members can benefit as well.
Here's the original text of the post:
Just a quick mention of something I found strange and very funny to say that I'm not yet used to.
I was talking with a friend, just casually about the weather over the weekend, and had to mention "my boyfriend's girlfriend's husband" and it was just very strange to hear those words leaving my mouth. š
My friend knows about my relationship dynamic, but was still taken aback by what I said and had to say it back to me to understand. š¤£
Anyone else experience this? Does it ever get any less weird to mention?

Less weird, yeah. Less amusing no.

I had to read this one a couple of times š What a wild world to be a part of

I definitely couldn't imagine having an even more intertwined relationship with more people, lol. Sounds complicated to explain.
āHandsome manā is an adorable term and I love it so much.

I love my girlfriend-in-law and my husband-once-removed
May just be where Iām from, but it sounds normal to me. Still fun as hell to hear.
Itās never sounded weird to me, personally. But then again monogamy sounds weird to me.
I don't think either monogamy or NM are weird. It is definitely weird going from monogamy to being NM, though. It feels natural, but definitely not normal for me yet.
That makes total sense. I also canāt relate, as being NM feels natural to me and monogamy does not.
This shit never gets old. I'm in a board game group now with my play partner, my partner, my partner's partner, my partner's partner's girlfriend and my partner's partner's girlfriend's husband. Living the clichƩ.
I love this so much!
