A friend of mine wrote this on Fetlife:
PTO: PARTNER TIME OFF Have you taken any PTO lately? Remember that being polyamorous is not everything, you are a person outside of that. DON’T FORGET ABOUT THEM (yourself). It’s so important to take time for ourselves regardless of how many partners we have. Just one day a week where your partners cannot contact you unless they are in the hospital dying
I don’t know if this is something I would want, but I don’t think it is. Maybe it’s because of my current state of mind, but I’ve been feeling exceptionally lonely lately. I don’t want time off from my partners; I want the opposite. We don’t necessarily need to be doing anything kinky; we can just sit on the couch together and watch TV. I understand my friend’s point, though — it can be helpful to take time to recharge away from everyone and everything. Sometimes we need to be away from our partners so we can remember how great it is to be with them.
As an introvert, I don’t necessarily want to be alone all the time. I want to be alone until I don’t, and then I really don’t. Right now, at this point in my life, I really don’t. Maybe at some point in the future I’ll want some PTO, but not right now.
