I& #39;ve been self-reflecting on being polyamorous lately and I can safely say that I am still very polyam and I love it, A THREAD
Sometimes I& #39;ll doubt myself on if I am or not simply because I haven& #39;t had a full polyamorous dynamic yet (where I& #39;ve dated more than one person) but I have gone on a few dates and I do recognize when I& #39;m in love with multiple people. There& #39;s also the jealousy aspect to consider.
Firstly, the pandemic is making it hard to fully engage in this lifestyle but I still think it is one that is right for me. I reason with this simply because I understand it& #39;s nearly impossible to expect one partner to fulfill & meet all of my needs, and vice versa.
Some people argue, "But you have to make sacrifices in a relationship!!!"
This is true, but to what extent? Should two people settle on being unhappy just because they can& #39;t meet their partner& #39;s expectations, even if they& #39;re in love? This sounds so miserable to me.

In regards to the jealousy aspect, I do still feel this from time-to-time, but it& #39;s a normal human emotion that can happen in any relationship, regardless of how open it is. I know it& #39;s said over and over in regards to polyamory, but the key really is just trust & communication.
I& #39;m not going to sit here and pretend it& #39;s for everyone, because it& #39;s not. Rather, I think people should take polyamory into consideration more. Even though it& #39;s a relationship dynamic that demands more time and energy, I feel like if I had known about it sooner, -- (1/2)
(2/2) I would have saved myself so much confusion and heartbreak. Personally, realizing that I am polyam has granted me such a sense of personal freedom & fulfillment that I did not feel with monogamy whatsoever. I know it can be hard work but I truly think the payoff is worth it
I know most of my small follower count isn& #39;t gunna be interested in reading this thread but I just wanted to put my thoughts out there. Relationships are a very important part of my life and I feel very passionately about expressing myself honestly. Thanks for reading if you did!
