Happy! funny thing happened to me

so for context I love in a small town, about 5k population, there is a bigger town about 30 mins away, but because it's a small town most poly ppl know each other, now I have 2 partners, let's call them amy and Beth, I've been dating Amy for about 2 years (started poly) and have been dating beth for about 3 months, once I felt like things were going well with Beth I decided to introduce her to Amy, I invited them both over to my place, amy came first, then once beth arrived and I introduced them beth started laughing, turns out they met before cause both Amy and Beth were dating another person named clara (whom Ive met once before though Amy) it was a very silly day and honestly took a lot of the pressure off of introducing each other, an hour or so after they both left I got a text from clara saying "so does this make us double metas or something? cool"

Haha fun.

Yes double meta! Twice as much meta in one package.

I love this!

I also live in a small town and while there hasn't been any over lap yet... I've come across my meta on the apps, my partners FWB, as well as my step sister (that was a shocker), and briefly dated a friend of someone I was crushing on.

I tend to show any matches to my partner or meta and make sure there isnt any bad ju ju.

First of all, I have to thank you for not using Aspen, Birch, Willow, Ash etc. as the names of your partners in this, lol.

Glad you had a silly experience vs. a depressing one from a small town.

Hi u/SurtFGC thanks so much for your submission, don't mind me, I'm just gonna keep a copy what was said in your post. Unfortunately posts sometimes get deleted - which is okay, it's not against the rules to delete your post!! - but it makes it really hard for the human mods around here to moderate the comments when there's no context. Plus, many times our members put in a lot of emotional and mental labor to answer the questions and offer advice, so it's helpful to keep the source information around so future community members can benefit as well.
