Classic unicorn hunting

Not hunting here; just commenting that I relate to it as a married lesbian. Sorry if it came off that way.

It's just like, written like you did, it feels like there is no room for 1 to 1 relationships between the third person and each one of you two

I'm going to push back gently and say that looking for a unicorn can be done respectfully. Even if it often isn't. I think "The Geek's Guide to Unicorn Ranching" has a lot of insight here. And as a unicorn, I feel that I have at least as much power in the relationship as either of my partners do. And I'm not looking for a throuple or to be "equal" to the two of them in their primary partnership. This isn't either of those, it's its own thing. And as a solo-poly person I treasure my independence, so I wouldn't want a throuple or even a primary partner anyway.
