It is important that we recognize that love is not meant to be limited by any single way of expression.

Very authentic talk. Love it. When he says that he thought there is something wrong with him wanting to be with multiple partners I resonated just within the opposition. I often wonder if there is something wrong with me wanting to be with just one partner. I think this is a very individual journey. Maybe we are all still learning what love is through our experiences. Maybe relationships are just a glimpse of something that we either have forgotten or that we are not able to comprehend.

Anyone can be both: ambiamorous which means you can practice either love style that suits your needs at that time depending on how you and your partner(s) feel at that time within the relationship.

Listening to these talking points, this would have been more accurately titled. Monogamy or Non-Monogamy.

When it comes to being polyamorous, you're either polyamorous or you're not. It doesn't matter which relationship dynamic you're living, it's about YOU. The same is true about monogamy and non-monogomy in all of it's various forms.

I watched and would like clarification on why you decided to go back to monogamy after doing poly. I get the concept of being able to change and be able to choose. I also get the concept. Is there a different types of relationships out there and rules should be defined by what the two people want to be involved, but there be a reason why you chose monogamy for another 10 years, and I feel that you’re feelings and your mindset can change but ultimately you have to choose a cool value and what your beliefs are because otherwise you’re just flip-flop to what you deal with at the moment and you have no concept of what was gonna happen we could change at any point in time with people fear full or or scared to even try to get involved with someone who’s like this at one point and then they change your mind at any moment there’s no poor belief no nothing you believe in because you don’t have to of chaos that’s like saying one moment, you can do this but the next moment no I can do this and it could be the exact opposite and yeah you can but there still has to be some type of belief to be an individual wherever you got it wherever you chose to get it from I feel like there’s some type of belief
