I was kind of passively monogamous until hooking up with a polyamorous woman on Tinder. I started a relationship with her and even though I made some attempts at dating other people, this mostly just became her having sex with other guys and me being involved with her exclusively. But I found out that I have zero jealousy, like none at all, as long as she had the time and attention for me. I found out a lot about myself that I didn't expect.
So, anyway, I wanted to create a thread about positive experiences with polyamory, due to a thread on the test instance.
My buddy and I were romantic partners for a few years, poly all the while, then split up but kept living together and being best friends. Now we refer to each other as "my flatmate" or "my queerplatonic partner" depending on who's listening and kiss each other goodnight. Polyamory made this switch emotionally viable.
I wish I could be friends with my ex, they're super monogamous but I never was except for that relationship. I still think we'd be good friends but obviously the emotional wounds for them are a little more intense and maybe it's because of the monogamy.
