Examples of descriptive hierarchy
Hello! If you are in a hierarchal relationship(s), how do you specifically describe this to a new partner?
Context: I am entering a new relationship with a long-time friend who is poly and married. This is their first relationship (outside this marriage) that has unfolded into a potential long-term commitment. Right now they don't have a lot of clarity on describing the hierarchies with their spouse in this new context. I have asked them to take some time and come back to me with more specificity on decision making, time and availability, and potential for escalation in our relationship.
So what have these conversations looked like for you? Is there anything else I should ask? New to dating a married person, not new to ENM. Thanks so much!
