Very good posts so far especially from Vibe. First of all I have nothing against polygamy or poly amorous relationships, as long as all are consenting to this. I married a Muslim man and after 30 yrs he made the decision to marry another woman (religiously) not legally. I didn't agree to this and this is an example of the harmful type. There are women who voluntarily agree to this arrangement and is this case its fine. This means the man can have several wives - all living in the same house(separate rooms) or different houses.

Polyamorous relationships involves each having more than 1 partner and all involved agree this is fine. They agree to abandon jealousy and don't feel resentful of each others involvement. Its not cheating and all are aware of each other. I think some people who aren't educated about this - assume its like cheating or they don't have high morals...not true. Personally I'm a monogamous person but I can understand these other preferences as long as no one is hurt emotionally from this arrangement.
