Engaged and Polyamorous – People Reveal Their Experiences

Source: Whisper

There’s a lot of confusion about polyamory out there, so for starters, let’s just grab a basic definition from those smarties at Oxford:

“the practice of engaging in multiple romantic (and typically sexual) relationships, with the consent of all the people involved.”

You’ll probably notice that that describes a sort of general principle rather than one specific relationship or arrangement, so it’s no surprise that what a polyamorous relationship means is going to vary a lot from person to person.

Let’s look at one very specific slice of that pie: people who are engaged to be married to one person, and are still involved / hoping to get involved with other people. These anonymous contributions reveal the story.
