If someone identifies as polyamorous, does that mean that they can’t or wouldn’t want to be in a monogamous relationship?

it really depends on the person like my partner for example has been in monogamous and poly relationships, he def prefers poly but he can still be happy in a monogamous relationship

As someone who is poly and who’s partner is poly, we’ve been monogamous for three years out of our five year relationship and the only time we’ve had anyone else, he had a boyfriend for a couple months before the guy ghosted him

My ex says I’m being polyphobic bcos I’m upset that she cheated on me n I’m just confused basically because 1) she wasn’t out as polyam when we were together and 2) I didn’t think being polyam meant that you **had** to be in poly relationships, just that you were open to it

yeah your ex sucks being poly isn't a reason to cheat at all. if she knew you guys weren't compatible that was on her to speak up rather then fuck you over like that it sounds like she's just trying to make an excuse/guilt you
