Most of us are highly influenced in our beliefs by the people and society we grew up in. If the message you were told from birth was that only monogamy is possible in relationships, then it can be hard to break that belief in yourself - let alone convince other people around you, such as your family and friends. Dealing with those judgements can be hard, and it can be painful too.

In all relationships communication is important, and when you are in more than one romantic and /or sexual relationship, there is even more need to communicate! Discussing time arrangements can itself become a major use of your time! And working with each other, supporting each other, and working through difficult situations and emotions - a whole new part of your reality. And yes, for some people, that's part of why they love it so much!
