Exploring Open Relationships: A Therapist’s Perspective on Polyamory and Monogamy

my initial thoughts about polyamory and those of you that don’t know what it is it’s having multiple partners relationships and could be also in the bedroom but sometimes just romantic um is that we spend more time in the field of mental health studying and researching and putting money toward infidelity and cheating than we do looking at people who are successfully opening up the relationships and not having the kinds of issues that monogamous couples have now you can still cheat in an open relationship you can still cheat in polyamory because you have an agreement with each other just like Monogamy’s agreement so is non monogamy and then breaking that agreement is what is considered cheating but I’m also very supportive of people that wanna open the relationship and engage in polyamory so as a therapist I’m very supportive and in favor of open relationships and polyamory because those people that judge those critically are usually monogamous people so if you’re monogamous why that way I wouldn’t recommend it but if you’re not polyamory is the way to go for some people
