If people want to practice polyamory I suppose that's their business. I personally have known a lot of people who turned their lives upside down to be in polyamorous relationships and they generally always fall apart over jealousy. One person always ends up feeling left out usually.

If you want that and you can make it work though then more power to you!

I guarantee you know more monogamous people who have lost their relationships to jealousy.

This isn't a polyamory issue

This is a bad post. Polyamory is NOT about sex and it's NOT a fetish.

It can work extremely well and be extremely loving if done correctly. The problem is, it's not as easy as people often think it is when trying to idealize it.

Communication is extremely important in every relationship and that only multiplies when you have more than one partner.

If you have a feeling of jealousy... Talk about it...

If you don't think your partner is spending enough time with you... Talk about it...

If you aren't enjoying sex with your partner... TALK ABOUT IT!

I've been with my fiancé for almost 4 years, my bf and I are celebrating our 1 year next month, and I have a new first date next Wednesday. My fiancé has even been with their nesting partner (who is monogamous) for 8 years now.

This all happened because we have clear ground rules and boundaries as well as active communication.

I've never felt more loved than when my fiancé helped me pick out my outfit for my first date with my bf.

I love them both so tremendously and it pisses me off when people tell me that isn't possible or that all I care about is sex.
