Thank you so much, it feels really good to get some validation when the other comments start to get a little aggressive! It's actually interesting that I'd say my background is from a highly individualistic family, but through exposure to friends from more collectivist cultures and a more family-oriented than average partner I've come to cherish the concern and care for others I've seen them exhibit. I now personally strive to provide that whenever I'm capable. The way you've put this is really helping me deal with the reactions I'm getting here because I think you may be right that this conversation is trying to reconcile two approaches that basically follow from different axioms about how we should live. It's a hard problem to discuss when you think you're talking about polyamory and really you're talking about different fundamental value systems. I'm very grateful for your comment and glad to hear that this resonated with you!
