How their offspring would grow up if they weren’t there.<br/><br/>He frowns this time when she said she hadn’t had a lot of quality romantic relationships.  He didn’t want to call her a liar but he definitely found it hard to believe.  “I understand…it is difficult but I do understand…the loneliness.”  He felt the same way before Phoenix came into his life.<br/><br/>“It is not being foolish, you went for what you liked…” When she continued he stopped his heart caught in his throat cause he had felt the same…sometimes worse when he thought of his own relationship.<br/><br/>“Ahh ok.  Did they explain it well?  What did they tell you about Polyamorous relationships?”  He asked as he looked at her wanting for her to find someone for her seeing as that was something she really seemed like she wanted, other than the open relationship she was considering, he blushed thinking he wished someone would have told him this long ago.<br/><br/>“Yes Ma’am I know it quite well, more intimately than I would like, to be honest.  You wonder maybe if they will tire of you and choose the other person that they are out with and never come back to you?  It is not considered cheating because you know and you are going in with your eyes wide open.  You think you are ok…but are you?  They tell you who they are with because they want to be honest and open and yet you wonder if there is any part of them that is totally yours, some part of them that is just for you…don’t ask cause you already know the answer…no.  They desire you and everyone else besides you…  Its love...but is it?  Do you feel loved when they are with another?  Or do you spend your time wishing they were with you, that you had more of their attention than what they choose to grace you with?”  He paused.<br/><br/>He was supposed to be interviewing her, but some of his own angst was slipping in.  “You think you are ok, the sex is amazing, but then feelings get involved and you lose focus…a part of you wants them all to yourself but you already agreed going in that you were ok, but a part of you breaks every time they tell you about their latest lover or conquest.  You could have other lovers of your own but it doesn’t feel the same cause for you the only one you want truly is them…”  He paused.<br/><br/>“Sorry, forgive me I have said too much.” He flushed his dark cheeks becoming purple, whether it was embarrassment or anger it  was hard to tell. “This is about you go on...please.”<br/><br/>Then when she continued he couldn’t help but smirk as he took on her grimace, once she stopped.  “You have to decide on if this is the relationship you truly want.  But keep in mind the dynamics will change, it might go from a triangle to a star and the shapes may change.  Despite your supernatural physique disease is still a possibility and you will have slept with everyone that they slept with.  And do you want to have that many people in your relationship?  You will have to discuss the parameters if you go into the said relationship.  How much do you want to know or NOT want to know?  Also, keep in mind you will not be the only one jealous or greedy and some will want to sleep with or be with you lover just to rub it in your face that they were with them and no matter how much you care for them, they can have them anytime they want.  So you might want to be prepared for that as well."  He was thinking he wanted to make sure she was fully informed going in.<br/><br/>"But to answer your questions, you can have as many or as few as you wish, just keep in mind they are 'the other party', free to be with whomever they choose and want to be as long as they are open and honest about it….or that is how some relationships are.”  He said trying to make sure he didn’t bias her against it if that was what she truly wanted.  He realized he didn't, but he had no choice in the matter, he could be with her hoping one day she would choose him or lose her for being too restrictive to her desires.  So far he had tolerated being her main, part-time lover.  She did always come back but only after whoever did god knows what to her.<br/>
