Poly and living in a doorman building
Hi everyone in what is without a doubt the loveliest, most supportive sub on Reddit! I am a better person, lover, and partner because of this sub. I’m male, age 55.
I’ve been poly for nine years, have several wonderful relationships, from a long-distance anchor partner, to a couple of comets, to a casual FWB, and a bunch of cuddle buddies. I have an abundance of love and couldn’t be happier.
I am a new empty nester and I’m downsizing my living arrangements, moving to a doorman building in a major American city.
Does anyone have experience with what I imagine will be a great deal of confusion, judgement, and gossip as the doormen and neighbors see a string of different women coming in and out of my place, many arm in arm with me? (I am very much PDA.)
I’m not someone who cares what people think about me. If I did, I wouldn’t have considered this living arrangement in the first place. I’m just curious what actual experiences are, instead of relying on stories I invent in my head.
And if there are tactics to mitigate the challenges, I’d love to hear those too. Just because I don’t care what people think about me, doesn’t mean I want people making it uncomfortable for my partners and friends visiting me.
Thank you!
