As mental health expert Deepak Kashyap points out, “The difference between cheating and polyamory is that the latter involves ‘informed’ and ‘enthusiastic’ consent.” According to him, there are two major issues with polyamory:
The fear that my partner will find someone better than me (I ain’t good enough)The insecurity of losing someone who’s supposedly mine
Finally, polyamorous relationships involve a lot of issues. Jealousy and insecurity are the most common ones. To navigate these and to communicate with your partner is not always easy in such situations and consulting a certified therapist can help you in such situations. Our counselors from Bonobology’s panel are just a click away.
