greenstormYay! I've now been Officially Veto'd. Polyfolk will know what I mean.
To everyone else: when existing couples/groups decide to 'open' their relationships, sometimes they come to an agreement where they agree to end their relationships at any time on their partner's say-so. Sometimes this is time-limited (in the first six months of any relationship, I can get you to break it off with someone) and sometimes it's not. So (generally with a lot of thought and reasoning, because it's often very sad for the partner to end a relationship) they can say: hey honey, I want you to stop dating Bob, and it happens. Sometimes they need to give a reason, sometimes they don't, as the individual agreements go. That agreement is, in poly jargon, 'veto power'.
That's definitely another first to add to the list.
No, I'm not to be told the reasoning behind it, but as the Juggler says: they don't need to give reasons to each other for it.
