As the Aussies say, no worries mate, as far as I'm concerned anyway.

I think poly relationships do generally have a bad reputation for failure (though in terms of percentages, I guess relationships of all kinds should have one), and from the outside looking in I can see why. And like I said more people = more issues. That in itself, even if one is mentally prepared to do it, is bound to offer the odd complication. I think it takes a certain kind of internal balance before one should even be thinking about it, and even then they just aren't for everyone.

I do think given the right combination of people that they can work. And cheers to you, SB, and Silke while we're at it.
