The way I see it in myself is this: it’s very similar to friendships. I have stronger and weaker friendships, and those constantly change, but there’s not a hierarchy of friendships. And being friends with one person shouldn’t mean I’m not allowed to be friends with another, nor vice versa.
Yes, exactly. Partners aren’t more important than friends to us either, which is why we went the relationship anarchy route explictly as we never liked that even if partners were not seen as more or less important than each other (in some forms of polyamory) there was still between friends and partners and we couldn’t get our head around that mentality, and so we didn’t.
