Polyamorous people have multiple loving, intentional, and intimate relationships at the same time. Polyamory specifically refers to people who have multiple romantic relationships at the same time. It does not mean any type of open relationship that may include more casual sexual partners.

Can you be in love in a polyamorous relationship?

Thats partially because each polyamorous relationship is unique. Unlike an open relationship, where partners may have an agreement to have sex with people outside the relationship but remain committed to loving only each other, polyamorous people are often committed to loving multiple partners.
