Welcome! This list supports all people concerned with the challenges of poly/mono relating. However, it exists primarily to provide support to polyamorous people with monogamous partners. All others are considered guests who are welcome to listen, learn and occasionally contribute. All subscribers are expected to express their feelings without hostility and disrespect. Those who cannot do so will be given one warning and will be permanently removed upon any repeat offense.

NOTE: Though Chesapeake Polyamory Network (CPN) exists primarily to support the interests and concerns of the polyamorous, it takes no position with regard to which is "better", polyamory or monogamy, and considers this a matter of personal choice. CPN recognizes the special challenges of poly/mono relating and offers its support to all who encounter them by sponsoring both this list and real-time gatherings, which will be announced here from time-to-time.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE: Those seeking a group that primarily supports the mono partner's perspective should join the Yahoogroups list called simply "PolyMono" by sending e-mail to polymono-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

TO ALL NEW SUBSCRIBERS: First posts are held for approval by the moderator and, if not SPAM, are usually approved within 12 hours.
