After reading this forum for some time, I finally realized that I’m not the only one who finds the standard linkage between romantic relationship and ownership weird. I recall that the statements like “s/he is mine” or “I’m yours” have been baffling me for as long as I can remember, yet most people consider them perfectly normal. A few posts by the regulars, both polys and “monos” show that I’m not alone.
