If there’s anything I’ve learned from polyamory, it’s that the quickest way to destroy a relationship is to try to make it into something it’s not, to force it into a box that it doesn’t really fit in, and to slap labels on something and assume that those labels give the relationship value. No, no, and no. What you end up with is damaged goods in a mislabeled package that end up absolutely where you didn’t want to send the damn thing in the first place. Page Turner
About This Quote

Polyamory is the practice of having multiple open relationships. It can be confusing, especially to those who don't practice it. While polyamory is not a new concept, it's become much more mainstream in the last few years. Polyamory does not mean cheating! It is about being honest about what you want out of your relationship, and being open and honest about your relationships and what you want from them.

Polyamory means that you can have as many partners as you like and any person that you meet can go on to be a part of your life – whether they are part of your relationship or not. It doesn't mean putting up with disrespect, lies, or emotional abuse. It doesn't mean that people can never be part of your family or that friends will never be involved in your life again.

It just means that people come and go as they please and can always choose not to be part of your life again if they wish. It is also about the freedom of choice and the love and respect and trust and friendship that comes with it.
