Do other polyamorous people ever forget that not everyone has multiple partners? Because I swear sometimes I find out someone is monogamous and I’m like “that’s such a weird lifestyle but good for them I guess” /j

How I didn't realize I was poly before 21 even though my go-to reaction to love triangle drama in media is "Why don't they just all date" is beyond me.

reblog with what your partners would find if they searched themselves (or each other) in your phone
saw a tiktok saying like "the urge to go through his phone and search your name in his messages 😫" and EVERY comment was like "did this and hurt my own feelings 😭" "couldnt sleep for days after i did it 😭" "the way this actually destroyed me 😭"
putting aside the fact that you shouldn't go through people's phones and private conversations without permission. I know if I were to do this on my partner's phone that I would only find positive things or at worst, them being worried about me when I'm having a hard time. BUT to give the benefit of the doubt, I was curious what my partner would find if they were to search their name in my phone. Here are the worst messages I could find:
plus countless texts to my roommates asking if I can invite them over lol
anyway, it's important to find people who adore you. If you suspect they're shit talking behind your back, it's probably time to move on.

Hi I’m new to being polyamorous and I am struggling immensely
First I want to say I don’t know anyone in my life who is polyamorous (other than my partner and I) so forgive me if this is unorthodox but I need some void in which I can scream.
My partner and I have miscommunicated to hell and back and while they believed our relationship to be open to begin flirting with other people, I thought we were still speaking hypothetically.
Now they started flirting with someone else and took it to a sexual nature immediately. I guess that’s what flirting means to them, that wasn’t clear to me. They didn’t tell me till a week later they were talking to this person, and wanted to try pursuing a romantic relationship with them but wanted my permission.
Now this relationship is exclusively online for them, and they stated that for most of the correspondence it was through anon messages on this persons blog. My partner says that the relationship not as real to them until it got to DMs. Once they moved onto DMs they cooled on the sexual nature of their messages. But they still kept tagging each other in NSFW posts.
I’m going through a whirlwind of emotions, not feeling ready for this step but I don’t want to take this opportunity away from my partner? I truly want us to have a healthy, polyamorous relationship. It does not pain me they have someone they’re interested in, I am pained that I didn’t know.
I am also struggling with jealousy over some of the sexual things they spoke about, thinking some of those things were special to us. Worried that maybe they’d prefer this person, their body, etc.
Although I do want these same opportunities for myself in the future, I am just struggling with these things because it’s my first time experiencing them.
I’m aware how absolutely undesirable this situation sounds all written out. No one talks about what it was like realizing they’re polyamorous but also transitioning to having polyamorous relationships from monogamous ones.
This weighs on my heart and so I lament to you as that’s all I feel I can do and wonder if anyone can tell me “dude I have fucking been there”
Oof, this is a really rough situation to be in. Feelings can get so damn complicated during big changes like that, especially if it started off with some pretty serious miscommunication.
It's definitely a great sign that you're recognizing all of your emotions and where they stem from, and I hope you've been keeping your partner in the loop about it all! I've always recommended having a conversation with them about things you would like to remain special to just the two of you, like a specific pet name or date location. Sometimes meeting the metamour (the person your partner is dating) can help ease feelings of uncertainty or jealousy, but don't force yourself to if you're not ready to. Couples therapy with a poly-informed therapist can't hurt either.
I'm certain there are people who have been through it like you have, and I hope my followers will share their similar stories! My heart goes out to you, anon, as you navigate this new change <3

poly culture is wanting to buy flowers for your datemates for valentines, but then do you get some for your metamour who is also your best friend, who you're equally close with? and then do you get some for your other friend, who isnt in the polycule but is also really close. and if you're buying for one metamour should you buy for all of them? and then what about *their* partners?? and, and,
handing out flowers like oprah

Does it count as a poly relationship when your partner has a nesting partner AND you as "secondary"? (Sorry if it's wrong but I don't know poly lingo)
I mean wouldn't be your partner in a poly relationship? Or would you also count as a poly person
Being a poly person and being in a poly relationship are different things. You are in a polyamorous relationship, but if you're not interested in dating outside of your partner yourself, you might not be polyamorous - that's very common and okay!

Polyam is having your heart broken by someone who you thought loved you suddenly ghosting you for 5+months but having a whole group of people to lean on reminding you that you're loved and valid while they help you through the loss and the abandonment anxiety by constantly peppering you with "I love you"s.
