Yes, we love them very much and they love us. And I'll speak for Tris as well as myself because I've heard it from her enough - opening up our respective relationships actually made them better. Open relationships take a great deal of honesty, transparent communication, vulnerability, and maturity - all things that lead to greater intimacy and connection. Polyamory isn't for everyone, but many, many people who enjoy it report the same sense of spaciousness, deep connection, and expansive love.
