Over the years, I have been asked a large array of questions pertaining to my "unique" lifestyle and the interworking of relationships within the walls of my domicile.
At the age of 35, I am beginning to open up about my unconventional lifestyle and experiences. I'm an extroverted introvert when necessary, but have always struggled in sharing what I considered private.
Oddly enough, I relish in the opportunity to have meaningful conversations with as many people as possible, I have predominantly worked in fields that are customer service oriented and I have multiple "husbands". It makes the introvert portion of my personality a hard sell. Due to the escalating divisions being created in our society at large, I am inspired to share my way of life with people who seem overwhelmed by current social constructs.
We live somewhat isolated and over the years, many of my family members and friends regard my home as a retreat or sanctuary. I am currently the only woman living in the home and am honestly happy with my living arrangement! I have three husbands and a casual relationship. We all live under the same roof and collectively pay bills, attend chores and work our small 5 acre lot.
We have recently purchased another parcel of land and intend to erect a larger domicile than the one we currently reside in. We would like to create a larger communal home and host supporters/patrons/refugees. I live with a very diverse group of individuals and we celebrate one another's differences. Additionally, we have never seen eye to eye on all things, but treat one another with respect and occasional deference. Our goal is to share our experiences, build a larger community and create new experiences with others. We envision hosting harvest parties with the abundance we always seem to have from our farm. Also, portioning some of the space as a unique BnB that helps offset the costs of maintaining a communal space.
Unfortunately, non of us are wealthy and have to implement a plan to raise the funds for this new community endeavor. Thus far, we have considered fundraising and soliciting from interested parties. We are decent savers and managed not to spend all our savings on the recent purchase of land. A few people find interest in what they've termed our "social experiment".
Again, most of the questions pertained mostly to how I can satisfy the needs and desires of four men. We all have our unique talents, I suppose. There is honestly no magical potion or special set of instructions I can provide anyone. Or... is there? Ha. I can only speak to my experiences, perhaps it is insightful and helpful to someone out there.
I discovered Steemit recently and am exploring this avenue as a way to apply my skills ( I am a writer and photographer) in this forum to aid in generating the funds necessary to see this vision manifest itself. I'm not confident enough to think I can provide advice (nor do my degrees apply), but I am willing and able to listen and discuss with anyone considering polyandry or communal living.
Any suggestions on moving forward?
