Do people go back to monogamy?
I have been a reader of this sub for a while. I spent most my life only openly surrounded by monogamy and experiencing monogamy but recently was introduced to the world of poly/ENM.
I know it is not something I personally am interested in but I was wondering how do people find themselves in poly relationships and how do they find themselves getting out of it? I know some folks have been brave and shared their trauma with those types of relationships. But are there also times where it’s not as traumatic and you’ve just decided to walk away from a poly relationship structure?
Also, is it more common for people to leave poly communities as they age? I don’t want to say people “grow out” of it because if that’s truly how they feel they should express their love I don’t think it’s my place to say no. But also, it seems like an acceptable answer/no further questions answer for people who want to sleep around at 30-40 and don’t want to get married, have kids, or “settle down with one partner.”
