There are many different polyamorous relationships, each with its unique set of benefits and drawbacks. Here’s a look at five of the most common polyamorous relationships and how they work.
1. Open Polyamory: This is the most popular form of polyamory and typically refers to relationships where each person has some degree of relationship with others. Open polyamory allows for a great deal of freedom and flexibility regarding who you know and date.
2. Cohabitation: This is a form of polyamory where two people are in a relationship with the understanding that both will have some degree of relationship with others periodically. This type of relationship is often more discreet and hidden than open polyamory.
