Signs You Like the Idea of Polyamory
Generally, if you’re not happy in a monogamous relationship, you might be polyamorous. However, since polyamory revolves around compersion, you don’t necessarily need to hate your current relationship or partner to realize you’re polyamorous—you might just dislike the style of it.
Here are a few signs you’re polyamorous:
- You feel limited and stuck in monogamous relationships.
- You believe that people can fall in love with multiple partners.
- You don’t like or understand jealousy in relationships.
- You feel genuinely happy when your partner is happy—even if someone else is involved.
- You believe that it’s totally manageable to have multiple partners.
- You’re sexually attracted to other people and want to explore your sexuality with them.
Is Polyamory a Bad Thing?
Helen Fisher, the author of Anatomy of Love, believes that neither monogamy nor polyamory is unnatural human behavior. She suggests that we are animals who form pair bonds. However, from the evolutionary standpoint, we’ve always practiced serial monogamy—not absolute exclusivity.
Consensual non-monogamy is nothing to be afraid or ashamed of. As with all other relationship styles, it’s just a way of loving and forming bonds with others.
The stigma around polyamory roots in cheating and unfaithfulness. However, you should note that polyamorous relationships are based on honesty, transparency, and consent. So, it’s not cheating.
Both monogamy and polyamory become societal threats only when they’re imposed or enforced. So, there’s no need to worry about them as long as they’re consensual.
What to Do If the Test Says You’re Polyamorous
If you’re already in a monogamous relationship and the test calls you polyamorous, it’s best to discuss your feelings with your partner. You can also talk to a therapist to clear up your mind before opening up to your current lover.
If you’re not in a serious relationship, you have enough time to explore your dating personality and sexual desires. Maybe you should explore polyamory in your own way and get to know yourself better before establishing any long-term relationships.
