Polyamory isn't contagious; you don't 'make' someone non-monogamous just by existing around them. For many, the desire was already in them, waiting to be awakened. It's a GOOD thing for people to learn about different relationship styles and make informed decisions/changes.

If your partner is only monogamous with you because they didn't know polyamory was a thing they could do, and you don't want them to learn about polyamory because that would mean they might leave you...I mean, I get why you're scared, but that's not a reason to be controlling. You both deserve to be in a relationship that you freely chose to be in - and that requires knowing your options.
