Genius. I didn’t know there was a term for the way I run intimate relationships. I’d just gotten used to using “solo polyamorist” (thanks Ignacio!) but this fits even better! Win!

waxpapereyes:

Relational anarchy, [syn. relationship anarchy, both shorted RA,] questions the idea that love is a special, limited feeling which is real only when kept between two people at any given moment. It is possible to love more than one person.

RAs do not divide relationships of partners and non-partners, but [have] a more flexible approach to relationships where everything is allowed as long as everyone can accept the agreement. One consequence of this is that relation anarchs can have multiple sexual, loving or intimate relationships, and the RA is often seen as closely related to polyamory. One noticeable difference is that polyamorous often still makes a categorical distinction between love relationships and friendships, but that relationship anarchs not recognize any such distinction.

Since relation anarchs [do] not make a difference in different types of relationships, [they] are not connected with anyone in the conventional sense, even if, for example, [they] have a lasting love relationship.

This is what I’m going for.

Whoa.

I love this!
