Livre d'Or

One thing which Liv didn't mention because she is super discreet; there's the quad where we live like a reasonably serious but quite new relationship, but I also have another relationship which is more like the almost conventional secondary relationship.

We see each other maybe once a month for dates and a couple of times in between for family events, my children are comfortable with him, but he doesn't get involved in any family decisions, nor ask me to help him make decisions.

It's funny, because in my social group now, I see more of the heirarchical or anarchical models of polyamory; when I was a child, I knew several children whose parents were part of quads or other clusters, and it just seemed nice to pool resources. They always had an adult around, and always someone who understand where they were coming from. So I guess I idealised that family structure somewhat? The pool your resources, it takes a village, style of poly maybe?

But to me, I want to describe it as 'quite simple really' but I guess that people who aren't me get confused.
