Probably the best way I'd have of describing us would be emotionally monogamous but sexually non-monogamous
Do you have boundaries in place against falling in love with other people, or is that allowed as well as long as the pair-bond remains paramount?
Frankly, I classify relationships by level of committment (which you guys seem to be doing just fine on), and amount of work the people in the relationships are prepared to do (ditto), and even if your relationship doesn't fall within the strictest parameters of poly by many people's definition, you are still using the same set of skills that By and Jera or Ranj and I use to keep our relationships healthy and intimate, and by those lights, I believe that you can provide valuable insight.
