10 Signs You Should Try Polyamory (Even If You Think It’s Not For You)

6.    Communication and honesty are very important things for you.

You can’t stand lying. About anything. And let’s be honest, most people feel safer not admitting to their partners that they may be interested in or attracted to somebody else. Some people may even partake in coffee dates with other people and not tell their partner out of fear of them being jealous or forbidding them from certain friendships they do not wish to end, but may have to do so for the sake of their relationship.

In worst case scenarios, cheating happens. And this is a common issue. You are the kind of person who would rather be open about these difficult topics and feel safe in approaching them with your partner. You think it is best and healthier to tackle the situation and finding a compromise that makes you both happy. If there is something forbidden to us, we will only want it more. If we feel free to be with somebody else, then the initial excitement of that “forbidden fruit” is gone. And so the interaction is instantly no longer as romantic as you see in cliche “forbidden love” movies involving affairs. You may even find you’re actually not that interested in that “third person” and it was knowing that you couldn’t have them that made you desire them in the first place, more than actually liking them.
