The Truth About Polyfidelity: Love, Loyalty, and Boundaries
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?
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.
