T>First off, having a commitment and having other lovers are not 
T>mutually exclusive,
 
Hmmm.  Depends largely on what type of commitment you're talking about,
I suppose.  If there is a very vague commitment, then I can see what you
mean.  But if you have a serious commitment, you have to define the 
terms of your commitment.
 
T>...haveing multiple lovers does not preclude deep emotional commitment
 
Oh, certainly not.  You simply diminish the amount you devote to each 
one.  There is just /so much/ emotion that you can give, without
getting bland about it.  You can't have "something special" with many
people, otherwise, there's nothing special about it.  It's cheapened.
 
T>Having an open relationship does not mean that you can sleep with 
T>whomever you choose.
 
Ok, so both of you have to approve of the "Canidate Lover", right?
Does that mean that only you and Kelly have to approve, or does
everyone in the Coven have to approve?
