I’ve been practicing and exploring polyamory for the better part of 10 months. I’m still learning a lot about myself, where my boundaries sit, and the kind of poly dynamics I’m looking for. Something that has been sitting very heavily on my soul for maybe the last 6 months is the topic of devotion.

A little background on me as a person, I feel things very deeply and am very passionate about the people in my life. Platonic and romantic. I have a lot of love to give and I enjoy giving it but something I’ve always craved or looked for is devotion - even when I was in monogamous dynamics. I fully understand that this craving may come from a deep lack of support in my childhood which I’m working through in therapy but I can’t help but feel like this is something I have to let go of if I want to keep exploring poly dynamics. Maybe it’s something I have to let go off in general lol

Does devotion disappear in polyamory? Is it even fair for me to ask that of another person?
