I realized I was poly during my senior year at Brown U 😳

My ex and I had just broken up (my first real, and monogamous, relationship ever). It took meeting a couple in an Open relationship & a lot of self reflection before deciding that I wanted a more expansive relationship style.

Everyone is different, and there are MANY different kinds of poly relationship types—and the C/ENM category is already huge as it is. This isn’t anything new, and we all deserve to explore dating in ways that feel most authentic to us (while being good partners & lovers to those that allow us into their lives).

C/ENM isn’t greedy. It isn’t messing around or cheating dressed up in glitter. We’re real people in real relationships sharing real love.

My C/ENM & poly babes: drop what helped you realize your relationship style below 🥰

This sounds much more like many bouts of infatuation rather than love

I’m not poly but i remember i sat next to this beautiful white couple at a bar super nice and friendly but they mentioned they are poly after getting a slew of compliments from them and though i denied their request respectfully… I was curious about their lifestyle and they were able to share with me a couple of things The man said he became poly because he realized that every time he was in a relationship he always cheated on the girlfriend and it just wouldn’t stop. He LOVES women and he was fully aware of his uneventful environment growing up that affected his dating life, but what made him choose poly even more was he realized he was hurting really good girlfriends. that were actually really good people and that made him sad. and he even explained that being poly is actually really hard because of the amount of mental and emotional work that has to come with agreement but he didn’t look like he regretted it either he just looked like he was up for the challenge I don’t know. I feel pretty impressed with him being brutally honest and choosing, poly instead of shaming people who want monogamous or feeling stressed out by putting himself in categories, he doesn’t belong, I just remembered that the couple look really happy. So yeah to each his own.✨🙏🏾

I can't recall when last I went on a date🙆🏽‍♀️😅. But honestly, these are the kind of questions I'd ask people I would sense are comfortable enough to disclose such info with me and find that its almost all the time hahaha. I just enjoy having conversations with people and learning about them with no romantic intentions at all

I find myself falling for a woman’s personality and intelligence. I love their gentle loving and I’m always interested in having a woman’s connection. But my husband will always be king! Having both in my life is just amazing

Can I share my story; In my community college years I opened myself up to the lgbt community and as I was observing content of lgbt couples, it sparked my mind if I could have 2 lovers at the same time. And from there I experimented with poly

Adidas and Jeremy Scott first worked together in 2003 on a run of just 100 Forum sneakers printed with fake money bearing Scott’s face. Five years later, the partnership became a full collection, giving him room to turn familiar adidas shoes into something far stranger. The Wings drew on a motif Scott had used in his fashion collections for years. Other pairs had flames that looked at home on a Hot Wheels car, teddy bears attached to the tongue, or oversized bones and animal print that recalled The Flintstones. They were loud, playful shoes at a time when most sneaker collaborations were still relatively restrained. Rappers helped carry them beyond fashion. Danny Brown wore Scott’s winged adidas onstage in 2011 and made the designer’s clothes part of his early look. A$AP Rocky wore the Wings in “Purple Swag” and the Bones in “Peso,” then worked with Scott on the blacked out Wings 2.0 in 2013. Years later, Lil Uzi Vert was still wearing pairs from the collaboration. Scott has said younger artists, including Uzi, told him they remembered seeing the shoes when they were too young to buy them. The original run wound down around 2015, but adidas and Scott reunited in 2021, bringing back the money print, wings and other familiar ideas. They have continued releasing pieces since, including a Money Wings Forum football cleat in 2026. What began as an unusual way to dress up a sneaker became one of the most recognizable collaborations in adidas history. 📸: @6ixarchivestore

I finally got to join my family on a Saturday morning bike ride 🚲☕️ & now I’m looking forward to all the weekends ahead where we get to do this together. 🤍 Since becoming a mom, I’ve become a little nervous on bikes, while the rest of my family LOVES them. So getting my own e-bike felt like my chance to finally join the crew. My new @Aventon Pace 5 has made me feel so comfortable & confident riding. The low step-through makes it easy to get on & off, and the pedal assist + Boost Mode is a GAME CHANGER on our neighborhood hills. 🙌🏼 And another feature I love — I can lock my Pace straight from the Aventon app when we stop for coffee or wherever our ride takes us. So steal this family outing idea: pick somewhere you’d normally drive — coffee, breakfast, the park, a treat — grab the bikes & make getting there part of the adventure. 🚲 P.S. you can use code IN60-TENLEY at @Aventon. #Aventon #pace5
