As it’s a bit difficult for me to completely understand what being single and poly is like, (only ever experiencing a variation of it when dating someone in a relationship), I was lucky to find out that Ruby had just written a great essay about her experiences between both polyamorous and single.
Her perspective is fantastic, acknowledging both the good and the bad sides of what this interesting dynamic can bring.
Enjoy!
