  1. Primary and secondary

    Primary and secondary are words used by some polyamorists to distinguish between different degrees of relationship and to describe participants in those relationships. These terms indicate degrees of entanglement and involvement: 'primary' generally indicates a closer degree of involvement than 'secondary', and 'secondary' closer than 'tertiary'. Usage varies between describing a type or "class" of relationship, or a 1-2-3 ranking of importance. The type of entanglement/involvement described varies according to the speaker. The terms generally refer to one or more of the following: Emotional involvement: the intensity or depth of participants' feelings for one another. Logistic involvement: living and financial arrangements, shared child-rearing, etc. Ground rules within relationships: participants might agree that the maintenance of a particular relationship takes priority over others, making that relationship 'primary'.
