A romantic relationship dynamic consisting of 3 or more people loving on each other. They do not feel comfortable being anyone's ‘everything’ and one true love. Human jealousy and insecurity is something they often demonize, gaslight and/or reprogram out of themselves and each other. Most modern polys think they are more evolved than monogamous people. Polyamorous typically conflate monogamy with codependency. They like having multiple people to fulfill their "needs" because one person cannot meet all needs. Like it even matters. They don't grasp the fact that others can sit with themselves for 5 minutes or simply have platonic friends. Instead of interdependence, their solution is to spread out their emotional responsibility over multiple people. They often make a disingenuous argument that their romantic love is similar to loving family or parents of multiple kids. They sell their dynamic as this altruistic romantic love, which is actually very rare. They often prove this by not exactly investing as much of themselves in each of their partners.
