I recommend a book called dealing with difficult metamours by page turner

I recently stopped referring to the people with whom I am in relationships as my family. The term has fostered confusion, and I am always striving for clarity in my communication. For that reason, I join the ranks of those using the term #polycule.

In my situation, my partners / #metamours are friends with one another, but they are not in intimate relationships. Because #polyamory still confuses a lot of people, I made a cool little chart to illustrate how my polycule looks.

This is my family, in a photo from #atlantaleatherpride a couple of weeks ago. That's me on the left, my boy @grauwolfe in the middle, and my husband Zak on the right.

We are not a #throuple, we are #polyamorous. In #polyamory terms, I am what is called a hinge, in that I am in relationships with two people who are themselves not in an intimate relationship. They are #metamours, and to my great pleasure, good friends.
