What does commitment look like in a polyamorous relationship?
In a poly relationship, as with a monogamous relationship, commitment means you will be there for that person. You'll support them. You'll take care of them. You'll love them. Is there commitment in polyamory? Couples who are polyamorous have made a conscious decision to have other partners while maintaining their connection and commitment to their original partner. This is a mutual agreement, not a betrayal. The topic of polyamory or open relationships has received very little formal academic investigation.
