LBMango Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 It occurred to me that one of the relationship styles that I could see working for me is what I'm tentatively calling "fractionamory". Because I only want part of the relationship that other people want, it might make sense for anyone I'm in a relationship with to be in another relationship that satisfies the parts that I can't. Is this a Thing? Basically an aro person being in one or more secondary relationships, but not being anyones primary? Is there a better word for this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neir Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 This makes a lot of sense! I'm not sure if there is another word for it, but I like fractionamory. I have definitely felt similarly sometimes, although I'm not sure it'd apply to me now anymore. Relationships are complex but "not being anyone's primary but being a secondary" is certainly nice-sounding. Thanks for sharing this. Maybe someone more in tune with the polyamory community may be able to answer as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that that's exactly how many polyamorous relationships work 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
