We received a private message requesting we film a skit to illustrate how to enforce boundaries concerning a "messy list." In the context of polyamory, a "messy list" refers to individuals whom one prefers their partners avoid dating due to the potential negative impact on their support network or the likelihood of causing distress in their life. It's common for polyamorists to include family members, friends, work colleagues, and toxic ex-partners on their messy list. How do you think Millie fared in enforcing her boundaries? #Polyamorous #polyamory #nonmonogamy #openrelationship #relationshipgoals

Polyamory comes with its unique deal breakers. If a couple only dates together, it often indicates that they have not addressed issues of codependency. When a couple is new to polyamory and seeks to date without established agreements within their polycule, it suggests a lack of foresight and preparation. This absence of self-awareness and vision for a healthy polyamorous dynamic can mean that learning occurs painfully and reactively, rather than proactively. Claiming to be a relationship anarchist (RA) while not subscribing to broader anarchist political beliefs might imply that the term is being used to shirk responsibilities within relationships. If individuals express a desire to explore polyamory but refuse to learn about dismantling monogamous conditioning, it reveals emotional immaturity. They are likely unwilling to undertake the necessary efforts to foster a healthy polyamorous relationship. Transitioning from a dominant paradigm requires significant shifts in worldview; without these, old patterns can seep into new relationships. The enforcement of a one-penis or one-vulva policy typically reflects sexist, insecure, and controlling attitudes. Lastly, those who practice hierarchical polyamory often prioritize their own needs above those of others they claim to love, which can lead to harm and undermine the agency and ongoing consent that everyone deserves in relationships. #Polyamorous #polyamory #nonmonogamy #openrelationship #relationshipgoals
