Polyfidelity is a relationship style that combines polyamory and fidelity. In simpler terms, it’s about being loyal — but not just to one person. It’s a closed group of partners who agree to love and commit only to each other.

Think of it like a family of choice. Everyone involved agrees on the same rules, respects boundaries, and builds trust together.

If this sounds intriguing — or confusing — you’re not alone.

What is Polyfidelity

What Is Polyfidelity?

At its core, Polyfidelity is a relationship involving three or more people.

Here’s the catch: no one in the group seeks romantic or physical connections outside of it.

It’s all about:

  • Commitment. Everyone sticks to the agreed structure.
  • Equality. No one partner is more “important” than the others.
  • Transparency. Communication is key to making it work.

Example: Imagine a relationship between Alex, Jamie, and Taylor. They all love and care for each other. But they’ve agreed they won’t date or sleep with anyone outside their group.
