Hey so I need some help , sorry this is a little long
for context me (20F) and this girl went on a first date and she told me in the middle of the date that she’s polygamous.
I really liked the time I spent w her and I liked her a lot too, however I’m not 100% sure I am polygamous (although I’m sure I’m not 100% monogamous or strictly monogamous although I’d probably prefer to be with only one partner at a time since forme personally I’d be hard to manage more than one. Is there such thing as an in between??
However, after this date I have been very confused about how I myself feel about this and how it would work out between us. She’s not currently in any relationships and told me that if we were to get together and she went out and happened to find someone that she was interested in that she would tell me, etc.
The point of my post is to get more information on polygamy since all I can find are the very basic definitions and I mostly found information on polyamory which I know is very different although I feel like that would fit me better personally.
So id be great if anyone could help me, tell me how I works for you as a polygamous person , any personal experience or advice for me. And if anyone is in a mono-poly relationship could you tell me how is going for you and if it works? Is there such thing as a polygamous and polyamorous mixed relationship?
After searching a bit more and thinking about my own identify I have realised that I would totally be okay dating someone who is poly and maybe even trying to have more than one partner (although if that was the case I’d probably find a polygamous relationship easier to manage) with the right communication.
except for the fact that she described polygamy for her as “relationships that can end suddenly and even reappear” that kind of made me a bit hesitant. Is that actually how it works for polygamous people??
She also asked me if I wanted her to delete tinder which left me a little confused.
Also what is the difference with a polygamous relationship and an open one….could I still be considered poly if I’m okay with my partner being committed to me and others but not okay with them “sleeping around” and having hookups??
Any help, advice would be highly appreciated.
