Polyamory Primary

👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 ALL INFORMATION CLICK HERE 👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻
There are a number of radically different and mutually incompatible ways to approach polyamory, the two largest divisions arguably being ‘hierarchical’ and ‘non-hierarchical.’ A primary partner is, most often, a designation used by people in hierarchical relationships.
Hierarchical relationships, most common (in my experience) among people with a long history of monogamy who are new to polyamory, is a “couple plus” approach to polyamory.

Hierarchical relationships, most common (in my experience) among people with a long history of monogamy who are new to polyamory, is a “couple plus” approach to polyamory. It ranks relationships along a hierarchy, with primary relationships on top and taking precedence over other, secondary relationships. Common features I have seen in primary relationships may include:
In essence, the idea of a primary/secondary hierarchy is an attempt to reserve power to one person, often on the idea that polyamory is scary and threatening if other partners are not kept at arm’s length.
There is another way that the term “primary partner” is sometimes used as well, which is descriptively, to describe a relationship that is closely bonded. For example, a person might say “I am dating Kate, Bobby, and Jennifer. Kate and I are married and we live together, so that relationship is primary. Jennifer and I share a bank account and she also lives with us, and we’ve been together for twelve years, so that relationship is also primary. Bobby and I are long distance and we see each other only a few times a year, so that relationship is not primary. It may become primary if Bobby moves to town, however.”
This descriptive usage is far less common, but there are people who use the word this way.
Generally speaking, if you hear someone use words like “primary” and “secondary,” it’s best to ask them what they mean.

You’ll find at least three answers from polyamorous folk who are either overtly or tacitly anti-”primary.” That tone of exclusion is the first part of the answer to your question: a primary is something that many twue* polyamorists feel polyamorists shouldn’t have, because hierarchy is harmful / toxic / unfair / immature / .

Such folk often other those who practice hierarchy, and for practical as well as ideological reasons: the incompatibility between hierarchical and non-hierarchical poly is in my experience of magnitude similar to the incompatibility between atheism and theism.
Here’s another way to think about hierarchy:
Dating and being married are different relationship states. You might date someone for a long time with no intention of getting married. You might break up with someone you’re dating, for good or lame reasons. You might have a superficial relationship, or an intense and intimate relationship with someone you’re dating. You probably don’t share a bank account with someone you’re dating.
Being married to person X takes nothing away from your ability to date person Y as long as everyone knows what’s up and consents. Your spouse is primary; the people you date aren’t. Some people call this hierarchical poly, some call it open marriage, some people don’t give it a name.
What matters is you, and the people in your relationships. Informed consent matters, and informed consent is fundamentally about limits: rules. Primary, in polyamory, is just one more set of rules among many possible rules, soft limits, hard limits, and expectations people can rightly stipulate to govern their interactions with others.
For hierarchical relationships, a primary is the partner(s) that someone considers most important. This is a term especially used for an established couple in a long term relationship, who have or intend to have the 'typical' trappings of a relationship; getting legally married, a home together, children, etc.
The term compares to a secondary partner, who the person is dating more casually, but is at a lower priority than the primary partner, and usually doesnt have any long-term muilti-year life plans with.
For people who practice non-hierarchical polyamoury, the concept of a primary partner is

For people who practice non-hierarchical polyamoury, the concept of a primary partner is often looked down upon as being disrespectful to secondary partners, and stiffling to potential future relationships
If someone in your circle is using the terms ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’ in reference to the people in their life, you should definitely look elsewhere for information about polyamoury; that individual is engaging in a highly toxic practice. Stay far, far away.
