"I have 2 men in my life, so I wear a wedding ring and a commitment ring..."

I wear a wedding band on my left ring finger, as many married people do — it's been there since my husband and I got married in 2010. But I also wear a white gold band on my right ring finger to celebrate my commitment to my longtime life partner. I'm polyamorous and share my life with them both, so it feels right to honor my relationships with each of them in ring form.
Both relationships are special
My relationship with my husband followed a typical trajectory: we met in college, got engaged on Valentine's Day of our senior year, and moved in together after graduation. We got married a year later and exchanged wedding rings. Other than the fact that we're polyamorous, our marriage is fairly average. We own a house together, have a standing Friday date night, love traveling, and bicker about the best way to load the dishwasher.
Unlike in my marriage, mainstream US culture didn't provide a road map for my relationship with my partner. I always tell people that if you know one person in a polyamorous relationship, you know one person in a polyamorous relationship. There are so many different ways to be polyamorous, from your living situation, to how much time you spend with your various partners, to your partners' relationship with each other.
People assume that the biggest challenge of polyamory is jealousy or possibly time management. I think it's actually finding the right person (or people). Not only do you have to have great chemistry, you also have to want the same (or a similar enough) style of relationship when there are infinite possibilities.
I won that lottery with my partner. Over the past several years, we've settled into a comfortable routine: I spend two nights a week at his place, we go on vacations together, and we watch "Is It Cake?" on Netflix. We're both commitment-oriented and in it for the long haul. He's accompanied me to difficult medical appointments to provide emotional support. I'm the executor of his will. He's called me his "de facto spouse," and that pretty much sums it up.
However, our relationship doesn't have any of the legal recognition that my marriage does. Some stuff can be addressed with estate planning documents and healthcare directives, but there are so many irksome ways in which society doesn't account for polyamory. Emergency contact forms only have space for one name, and I can only list one partner in the relationship section of my Facebook profile.

splitting your wife's bills in half sounds pretty tempting.

I always go straight to the byline on these.
Yup.

I'm not reading all that shite. Which one gets the pussy?

Crying out for help, and instead we are giving into these crazies’ attention whoring.
Thirty years ago we would have laughed at these people.

Pretty sure the pussy here is the guy with the wedding ring.

Look how white those hands are. Like death.
They better go inside before getting sunburn.

She looks like she used Jack Napier’s plastic surgeon from Batman (1989).

Looks as frumpy as I expected.

I'm polyamorous
“Hey, we need to make up a word that will make constantly fricking around on my spouse seem acceptable to modern American society.”
“How about whoring?”
“No, although it’s what I’m doing, I don’t like the connotations of that word. I need something that sounds scientific, like it’s something that I can’t help. I know, polyamorous!”

Totally. Yeah, aside from that whole fricking other dudes part, as vanilla as it comes.
Other than the eating other pets and kids and people part, pitbulls are a lovable breed.

She’s not bad looking. Just resembles Cinderella’s stepsister.

Definitely wood. I bet those earrings swinging back and forth have a nice little cooling effect during doggy
