1. You don’t let other people’s opinions about your love define its validity. 

2. You don’t shame yourself for experiencing jealousy. 

3. You listen and don’t take it personally when a partner shares a difficult feeling. 

4. You don’t feel it is always your responsibility to educate others. 

5. You do polyamory in a way that is right for you, not based on what you feel you should do. 

6. You don’t feel the need to prove to others that polyamory is always a positive experience. 

7. You focus on your own connections instead of worrying about what your partner(s) are doing. 

8. You ask for what you need, not just what you feel your partner(s) would find convenient. 

9. You set boundaries without apologising for taking up space. 

10. You understand your love is unique and doesn’t need to be understood by everyone. 

How many of these apply to you?
