Nesting

A nesting relationship means about the same as the more common usage of "primary" - two or more people living together and building a closely shared life. Sometimes used in order to be more directly descriptive, without inadvertent "ranking" baggage. Leads to the obvious alternative of a non-nesting relationship.

New Relationship Energy

The surge of erotic and emotional energy in a relatively new relationship. Over time, relationships change to a more sustainable set of energies, or dissolve. NRE tends to be more overtly exciting by contrast, a factor poly folks need to take into account and compensate for. Term coined in mid 80's.
