Am I Polyamorous Quiz

Quiz | November 14, 2022 | Ekshika Parnami , Researcher & Content Writer

Why polyamory? What are the signs you may be polyamorous? Are polyamorous relationships healthy? Do they last? Don’t worry, we’ve got your back! This short and easy quiz will help you decide whether or not you are meant for poly relationships.

As mental health expert Deepak Kashyap points out, “The difference between cheating and polyamory is that the latter involves ‘informed’ and ‘enthusiastic’ consent.” According to him, there are two major issues with polyamory:

The fear that my partner will find someone better than me (I ain’t good enough)
The insecurity of losing someone who’s supposedly mine

Finally, polyamorous relationships involve a lot of issues. Jealousy and insecurity are the most common ones. To navigate these and to communicate with your partner is not always easy in such situations and consulting a certified therapist can help you in such situations. Our counselors from Bonobology’s panel are just a click away.

I wrote my first poem in fifth grade and haven’t stopped since then. As it has been famously said, “I don’t write poetry, poetry writes me.” Writing has not been a luxury for me, it has been a need that keeps me sane. Pouring my emotions out on paper comes as naturally to me as breathing. A degree in Journalism from Christ was just the cherry on top. Writing long essays as a part of UPSC preparation or term papers as a JNU student never felt like a burden to me and it was in fact therapeutic to type 2000 words in one go. Interning as a reporter with Indian Express taught me how asking the right questions can lead to crisp and engaging pieces. Emotionally, I have keenly observed and experienced inconsistencies in relationships, in my own life and around me while growing up. I have hopped from relationship to relationship, be it long distance or unrequited, toxic or abusive, live in or casual. To heal from the pain and heartache of those and the rough marriage of my parents, I would post long pieces on Instagram, which were basically a vent and also the start of my journey towards self-love. Some people started relating to my writing and would tell me, “You should get paid for this!” So, here I am. I found my medium to get those overwhelming feelings and lessons learnt, out of my system.
