The More the Merrier - a Happy Alternative to Monogamy

A common cause of difficulties in a relationship is when partners avoid discussing their feelings, desires and needs. "Alternative" relationships are no exception. Polyamory - where people engage in loving relations with more than one person - is increasing, as couples realize that monogamy is not the only route to happiness. One partner may also permit their partner to have sex with another person, even if they choose not to have additional relationships themselves - that is, an open relationship. Indeed, it could be argued that these relationships are far more honest than having illicit affairs outside your partner's knowledge. It is essential for both partners to be happy with the situation for this to thrive. In a polyamorous or open relationship, this is known as compersion.

What Is Compersion?

We may define compersion as being the very opposite of the “jealousy” that many people would feel at knowing that their partners are sexually or emotionally intimate with another person. It expresses the happiness that a person may find in knowing that their partner enjoys an intimate relationship with another lover. Yet it could also be argued that the lack of jealousy stems from a deep feeling of security and contentment within the relationship. Each partner knows that the commitment they feel for each other is not challenged by additional relationships. If anything, it could be strengthened by knowing that each partner is happy and able to express their desires fully and completely. Society conditions people to see monogamy as the norm, yet this is not a satisfying way of life for a significant minority, who are unlikely to find fulfillment in a relationship that requires them to focus on one particular person.
