Polls: Relationships

Recently, I have been falling in love with three men at the same time. Have you ever been in love with more than one person before? Tell me your experience and how you dealt with it.
Personally, I find it hard and exhausting!

If one person pays for a $2,000 hotel stay with reward points earned through business travel, say staying in lower end hotels.
at the very least should put if pocket expenses be split 50/50, if not covered by the other person. Ex: $500 out of pocket when the hotel is a $2k stay that the other paid in full with points and an upgrade to a suite.

• Do you believe in monogamous or non-monogamous relationships?
• Which do/would you practice?
• Why?

I believe in and practice monogamy. I value the exclusivity between 2 partners only, because I personally don’t think I would want to “share” or love more than one person in a romantic or sexual manner... I don’t believe in or practice non-monogamous relationships, however, people are free to do as they please.

How do you handle conflict? With a partner, friendship, work, family, etc?

Competing -
Value of own issue/goal: High
Value of relationship: Low
Result: “I win, you lose”
Competitors come across as aggressive, autocratic, confrontational and intimidating. "Standing up for your right."

Accommodating -
Value of own issue/goal: Low
Value relationship: High
Result: “I lose, you win”
Accommodators set aside their own needs because they want to please others in order to keep the peace.

Avoiding -
Value of own issue/goal: Low
Value of relationship: Low
Result: “I lose, you lose”
Avoiders deliberately ignore or withdraw from a conflict rather than face it. Avoiders do not seem to care about their issue or the issues of others. People who avoid the situation hope the problem will go away, resolve itself without their involvement or rely on others to take the responsibility.

Compromising -
Value of own issue/goal: Medium
Value of relationship: Medium
Result: “I win some, you win some”
Compromisers are willing to sacrifice some of their goals and persuade others to give up theirs, too–give a little, get a little. Compromise maintains the relationship and can take less time than other methods but resolutions may focus on demands rather than needs or goals.

Collaborating -
Value of own issue/goal: High
Value of relationship: High
Result: “I win, you win”
Collaboration generates creative solutions that satisfy all the parties’ concerns and needs. Collaborators identify the underlying concerns, test assumptions and understand the views of others. Collaboration fosters respect, trust and builds relationships. Collaborators address the conflict directly and in a way that expresses willingness for all parties to get what they need.
