Do you think you can be happy in a long term polyamorous relationship?

You get to choose if it's guys or girls

Yes

No

I can't decide

From my understanding, polyamory is when a couple are have their own relationships outside of the one they have together. If this is correct then no, that would be too complex and demanding for me. Open relationships, which is when a couple have sex outside their relationship but NSA, would also be a problem with me since both poly and open relationships would make me feel like I'm cheating with extra steps.

A throuple or a Vee type of relationship, where it's closed but still non monogamous, I would have to look more into it to consider it. I think I would still prefer monogamy above all of these relationship types to avoid the added mental stress and having to provide for so many people.

Nah I seen how those women on sister wives turned out. I would never want to live like them

Generally, Once a woman is in a long term polygamous relationship, she becomes controlling, demanding, and cuts out most sex.

Therefore most men in long term polygamous relationships are miserable and live in a life of miserable resentment and despair.

I clicked yes, but not for a poly relationship. I could do it for consensual non monogamy but not poly. Sex is one thing. More-than-friend love, affection, and relationship is something completely different.

I probably could, as long as I picked the perfect matched woman suited to me. I'd curse my luck if I picked the wrong woman, shame on me, I'd chuckle and think time for divorce, lol.

I've been in a relationship where my partner and his other partner was polygamous.
And it was crushing me.

Now I know 100% I need to be in a monogamous relationship where I can trust the other person.

Can't decide, it cool if it's two girls, but it can be overwhelming if they highly sexual.

I can pretend like I can deal with multiple people at once, but I can't.

I am already happy in one and have been for many years.

[Asker]

Interesting. Would you be open to sharing the dynamics with me? The others seem to be just as happy as well?

[Guy13]

No such thing.

[krin_m]

I have been in such relationships (two) for over 12 years and have been very happy!

[Asker]

Do you think they are just as happy?

[krin_m]

Yes, absolutely! Because we love each other very much (in the same way as a monogamous relationship)

[Anonymous]

No I rather die than being in polygamous relationship!

[Anonymous]

Depends on how structured it is; and if it polyamorous, polyandrous, or polygynous.

I do not think I could make it work.

[TacosRAwesome]

Maybe until I get third wheeled.

[ArtemisSilver]

So far so good.
