Mono-Poly

Mono-poly (short for monogamous–polyamorous) describes a relationship between one monogamous person and one polyamorous person.

Mono-poly is a form of ethical non-monogamy (ENM) requiring clear communication and boundaries. Both people agree to the arrangement, even though their relationship styles are different.

People end up in mono-poly relationships because:

  • They fell in love with someone who has a different relationship style.
  • They want to stay together without forcing either person to change.
  • One partner is polyamorous by identity, while the other is not.
