The True Meaning of ‘Freedom’ in Polyamory
Freedom from monogamy is not freedom from responsibility. More partners means more accountability — not less. Here's what freedom really means in polyamory.

People think polyamory means you can do whatever you want.
But in reality, having more than one partner means you actually have way more responsibilities and less freedom than in monogamy. Because you're factoring in the feelings/boundaries/needs of multiple partners, not just one!
Freedom is a word that is thrown around a LOT in non-monogamous circles. But freedom of connection and freedom from monogamy does NOT mean freedom from responsibility, consideration of others, and taking accountability.
