Thoughts on polyamory? (Do you understand it? Do you think you could ever have multiple partners at once? Would you date a polyamorous person?)
I think it's the ideal form of relationship since true love gives the other freedom rather than imposing restrictions, especially restrictions on fulfilling their hearts desires, and especially restrictions coming from fear and ego.
Though I've heard that in practice polyamorous relationships tend to have problems/drama, and I've never been in a polyamorous relationship. I think these problems likely only exist is the context of an immature culture, though.
I wrote an essay that's essentially abut polyamory without saying "polyamory" here: https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2018/06/21/cheating-fidelity-loyalty/

I love your essay! I think it perfectly encapsulates it!
Also, personally I haven't experienced much drama. On one hand, I find that polyamory can help avoid it because you and your partners can advise one another in your relationships, and you don't have to satisfy all your partner's needs, they can always look for someone else. On the other hand, jealousy can be a problem, maybe it's why there is more drama, but you can learn to manage it.
So yeah, pros and cons ^^
