I don't know what that was supposed to have to do with polyamory,...
But here's my take on it having been in the lifestyle for over 15 years with my wife and living in a full time triad for the last 4 years with our girlfriend.
Polyamory is a great lifestyle IF you have the mentality for it. It is estimated that less than 12% of the popularion has tried it, even fewer than that are sucessful. It's exciting, can keep your life with your partner vibrant and fun, but it's not easy by any means. You have to be able to separate the act of sex and the emotion of love, understand the difference, and always communicate fully.
The cons of a poly relationship are much the same as in a more traditional relationship really. The common misconception is that adding another person only doubles your problems, adding two (as in couples swapping) tripples them. It's actually a LOT more complex. Each persons interaction with every other person adds potential, so while there are actually triple the potential for issues between three people, it's actually six times the potential with four people. Understanding all this allows for a person to be better prepared for things, but it still comes down to human nature.
The worst thing people can do it not to be totaly honest with their partner/s about what they want, what they like, and most of all what they don't want. Rules are essential, and they can never be optional. You can change them as you grow and learn, but never on the fly. People without rules are typicaly the 1st to have a relationship implode. Next to that the most common bad idea is to try adding to a relationship to spice it up, or save it from decay. Most times these are people that have too much invested in their relationship to throw it all away, but recognize decay when they see it. unfortunately you're eaither going to reviatilaze your passio for each other, or more likely you're going to find someone/something more exciting and acclerate that decay. People change, desire fades, you never know if the next person you meet will bring new light to your life or be what starts tearing it apart. Pretty much like any relationship, just in polyamory people tend to be better communicators and more honest with each other on average.

∙ 11y agoLet me begin by explaining that you are asking about a relationship, which means that you and your partner are in regular communication with one another, and that communication is what is going to make this type of relationship actually work. If you cannot prevail in communicating with your partner clearly, openly, and honestly, I highly discourage being in a polyamorous relationship. However, this refreshing openness and honesty is a big strength of the polyamorous relationship. There is very little need to hide any info from a polyamorous relationship partner! Tell them about your other partners, friends, and family openly, and expect the same! It's the benefit that almost matters most! You have literally nothing to hide from them. Why should you?!
By definition, a polyamorous relationship means that one or both partners are not opposed to having other people grant physical affection, or even be sexual partners aside from one another. This is often considered the strongest "selling point" of the polyamorous relationship. Neither partner commits to being the other's "only one" in terms of having sex or physical flirting. This is often achieved by both partners agreeing to a couple of rules when this type of relationship begins. Rules such as: Both partners shall always practice safe sex, and they shall always call the other before engaging in sexual activity to inform their partner of whom they are with, or other such agreements.
Needless to say, if you are a "jealous type," this type of relationship IS NOT FOR YOU. It will be a terrible source of stress in your life. However, if you can conceptualize your partner being engaged in acts of physical affection and the thought does not bother you, you should give it a try, as you will find that you can have a reliable partner to call upon for affection, and still have the advantage of finding other partners for physical affection. You may even find the large amount of open and honest communication to be refreshing,

What is a polyamorous relationship?
is the desire, practice, or acceptance of having more than one loving, intimate relationship at a time with the full knowledge and consent of everyone involved. For example I used to bring women home and have my way with them while my GF was sleeping in our bedroom. This is not an example of polyamory as neither of the women involved knew of one another, and was lacking the aspect of love. Polygamy is similar in the sense that they are all in a loving relationship, but you don't have to be married to be polyamorous. is the desire, practice, or acceptance of having more than one loving, intimate relationship at a time with the full knowledge and consent of everyone involved.

Is Good To Make A Pros and Cons List In A Relationship?
sometimes it can be helpful for someone to be able to look at the situation they are in and judge whether it is good to be in that relationship based on the facts by weighing the pros and cons because sometimes one can get caught up in their emotions and not realize what is actually the right thing to do. however, it isn't good to base it solely on the pros and cons because in life, anything can happen and certain unexpected experiences cannot be listed under pros or cons. people just need to try out the relationship and hope for the best.
Is cheating?
Cheating is when one of two partners in an exclusive relationship breaks the exclusivity of that relationship without the knowledge, understanding, or consent of the other person in the relationship. This does not include polyamory or open relationships. In situations where all parties are aware of and are okay with the fact that there is sex happening between two or more people, at least one of whom is not involved in the relationship, it is not considered cheating. That is an open relationship. In a situation where there are more than two people who are all in love with one another, such as my godfather's situation where he and a man and a woman are all very much in love and love that they all love one another, that is a polyamorous relationship. Polyamorous relationships do not have to include all partners involved. say a man is in a relationship with a married couple, and the man in that married couple has a girlfriend who is married. Neither the girlfriend nor her husband are partners to the first man or his female partner. Cheating is being dishonest about having sex with people other than the person you are with. Don't do it.

Could someone explain Polyamorous dating?
You want a relationship involving more than one partner. Of course the relationship would first require the consent of every partner, but you must make sure this is what you desire. Is it that you want to LOVE more than one person or do you wish to have sexual relations with more than one person?
