Table of Contents

Monogamy isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. For some, love isn’t linear. It’s layered, fluid, and expansive. That’s where polyamory comes in.

Whether you’re curious, confused, or quietly questioning your relationship blueprint, this guide is your no-fluff entry point. We’ll break down what polyamory is, bust a few myths, and show you how SoulBot—your AI Mental Health Companion can help you reflect without judgment.

📊 Did You Know?
According to Psychology Today, nearly 1 in 5 Americans say they’ve explored consensual non-monogamy. You’re not alone.

What is Polyamory?

Polyamory means having more than one loving, consensual relationship at the same time. It’s not about cheating—it’s about consent, communication, and emotional transparency.

🧠 It’s not one-size-fits-all:

  • Some have a “primary” partner, others don’t.
  • Some relationships are romantic, some are platonic with deep intimacy.

It’s your way.
