In monogamy, cheating could look like one partner engaging in a romantic/sexual relationship with a third-party. Cheating has occurred when one person in a relationship has not consented to how a partner is engaging with people external to that relationship. Some people in non-monogamous relationships prefer to use the term Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM) or Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM) to distinguish themselves from people who cheat. People of all romantic and sexual orientations can practice non-monogamy this means that these relationships may or may not include a sexual and/or romantic component. Non-monogamy is an umbrella term for any relationship style that involves more than two people. So first, let’s answer the question… What even is “non-monogamy”? If you’ve been wondering what this non-monogamy thing is, you’ve come to the right place. However, it is a big topic with a lot of diversity, which can make it challenging to get clear information on what non-monogamy means and how it works. Non-monogamy has become increasingly common over the past few years, especially among younger generations.
