A couple (man + woman) looking to get to know a unicorn

But monogamy is a westernized, Christian, Euro-centric concept, and before you go shitting on people who practice it please realize that it’s existence in our country is due to racism and white supremacy, and you acting like you’re high and mighty for being monogamous is telling. 

Humans are complex creatures, and our complexity manifests in how we chose to love and who we chose to love. People act like we can’t have multiple romantic partners when we as humans have multiple relationships with multiple people every single day in different ways, but we do so equally. 

a polyamorous relationship isn’t restricted to just a 3 person relationship

just because person A may be romantically involved with person B and C does not mean that person B and C must also be romantically involved

polyamory isn’t an exclusive right for someone to go get 3 new partners while being involved with one. all parties must consent and give a clear okay that the relationship is good to go. if one or more of your partners doesn’t feel comfortable with another partner being introduced to the relationship then that must be respected 

there’s nothing wrong with acting differently with each partner! openly expressing affection to one partner but being more casual and friendly with another doesn’t mean you like the other any less

this one is obvious but communication!!!!! its super important!!!!!! communicate any problems, any doubts, any concerns!!!!!! don’t bottle it up just because you’re afraid of upsetting your other partners because your feelings matter too. everyone should be happy in/with the relationship and you shouldn’t sacrifice your happiness just to please your other partner
