Polyamory ISN'T CHEATING!!

If all parties agree then yes it's not. But if you start with a couple, then start dating a third without making an agreement with the first, they yes it's cheating. Just with extra steps.

I actually didn’t realise how controversial being polyamorous is 😧 Its insane that you even have to make something like this to explain why its not cheating

As someone that has become really good friends that is poly, they have really opened my eyes to it and given a lot insight to it. I wish more people would get over it and go about their day.

It might not be cheating in the colloquial sense, but it is still adultery. And it's still not good for you, as you can't devote yourself fully to two persons at the same time... I hope you may reconsider. I still wish you may have a blessed day.🫶

What gets me is people's IMMEDIATE response is to immediately assume they know better than the ACTUAL PEOPLE involved in said relationship like they are somehow personally involved or have a personal stake in the conversation. Spoiler, they don't. As a poly wife myself, I don't give a shit about explaining myself to people who I will never interact with intimately like that either way; nor do I care what a bunch of people on the internet think about me, my husband, and our livestyles lmao.

People don't understand that healthy communication can change relationship dynamics after formation. A lot of people think a relationship is set in stone at the start. If things change and new things are discovered.. talk about it, people It's not life or death to talk it out..

Sorry but it doesn’t work at 9/10 times. There’s always an imbalance in the relationship, it’s never equal. One partner is getting with multiple other people while the other barely gets anyone else, much less their own partner, who is too busy with everyone else. Most partners who this is sprung on feel pressured to say yes cause they fear they will lose their partner or they will just do it anyway and cheat. Polyamory isn’t the way and overall isn’t healthy for a society.

Polyamory by itself isn’t cheating, the way you did it is

So I dont disagree with you, im just of the opinion that it is only natural ppl to eventually want to be possessive and eventually want to devote their energy to who is providing the greatest return on investment. But do your best, best of luck. Get tested regularly.

this still sounds sketchy to me tbh

If you're dating another person while in a relationship thats cheating a relationship is a 2 person thing

it’s called “ethical non-monogamy” for a reason… true polyamory is done in an ethical way…

I think a lot of people don't understand that being polyamorous and being in an open relationship are two different things.

Anyone else watch Sister wives? Man I hated Robbin.

@celestiumart and @Gabriel_Gratia I am going to need some bleach.

THANK YOU! SAY IT FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK TO HEAR!

peak explanation

It is for some to be fair, but not everyone, in fact their are most likely people like that that don't hurt their partner i am guessing

Cringe. 💀

You're supposed to give your hand in marriage, and people have several hands.

As a fellow polyamorous individual, thank you for putting in the work, clearing up this common misconception. Can’t count the number of times I’ve had to make a similar sounding speech. 😅

Not good when you can already spot three out of the 33 accounts currently using the pedo flag to defend this degeneracy.

People call this crap cheating because once it starts it never ends & ultimately there always is an imbalance in the relationship. At the end of the day it's never a polyamorous male but a female who has multiple partners. People just perceive this as adultery.

So true & 100% agree. I’m long distance partner but always ask my partner before going off to play with others. Communication is key because my 2nd boyfriend didn’t have that & we hurted each other so often. I sometimes get weird looks when I say I’m poly but I’ve never been happier🥰 P.S you deserve a follow💜🫂

Just sounds like you hiw yourself out for desperate people. You are right. It isn’t cheating. It’s degeneracy not to just you but to everyone’s involved.

I don't think most the people who say polyamory is cheating have a problem of understanding. But, maybe some do.

Basically an IRL harem?

Thank you so much for giving light to Polyamory ! It's so misunderstood and it's heart breaking to read and hear. Polyamory is wonderful, and the connections you form with the people in your polycule is unlike any other 🩵

Hey hello fellow poly person lol it's nice hearing someone else talk about how poly actually works

I can say that not everybody’s capable of that kind of relationship. It’s the mindset from person to person.
