yep! poly relationships come in all different forms. if your partner is strictly monogamous they can just date you, but that doesn’t mean that you must only be restricted to them (though of course you have to communicate between each other) (and all parties involve must consent).

monogamous people like the idea of a closed relationship where there’s equal love between all people involved but in reality, most of the time it’s a polycule (a network instead of a closed circuit)

monogamous like that idea i said because it’s convenient for them to think about/easier to digest and even poly people think so to when we’re just starting out,,, all poly relationships are different from each other so,,

Im just wondering, if your partner is monogamous who consented into you being poly, isn't that tiring for them, is it still love? Not to offend anyone I'm just really curious. I mean if you're monogamous you would call it cheating, right? Or it just doesn't matter as long as they know you love them?

But on the other hand, if you love them, you'll accept their into poly, is that it?

it’s more like accepting that they’re that way? i mean it’s complicated so you really have to talk it out with them and see what you’re comfortable with. as you said, it can be potentially tiring for the monogamous person (though, imo it really depends on how you view love as cheating is going behind your partners back so no, it isn’t cheating) but usually poly people stick together? it’s also since even if you choose only one partner that doesn’t mean you aren’t poly.

hope that made sense ww
