“What Is the Difference Between Solo Polyamory and Polyamory?

People who practice solo polyamory are not part of a committed partnership or multi-person relationship unit. That doesn’t mean they don’t have any intimate relationships. It just means they don't live with romantic partners, and they tend to refrain from engagement and marriage.

Solo polyamorists’ relationships don’t follow the “relationship escalator” model. The escalator represents traditional relationship milestones and goals. It typically applies to heterosexual monogamous relationships.” I do not: Public appearances as a couple

Using relationship labels (partner, boyfriend/girlfriend, etc.)

Living together

Merging finances

Engagement & marriage

Having children and pets together. I say my solo-polyamorous lifestyle and lovestyle takes more commitment because it requires a lot of communication, self-reflection, and coordination with multiple partners.

Solo polyamorous people like me values my own independence and I enjoy spending time on my own, but I am still committed to the well-being and quality of life to my partners.
