I'm a polyamorous INFJ. Lemme tell you, it's not easy. I am FIERCELY dedicated to my lovers which includes an unfortunate tendency not to leave bad relationships until after they've turned into EPIC train-wrecks. Thankfully I've only had one of those.
I know polyamory isn't a simply way of life but I've found it suits me. I love mightily. I have two relationships right now (one with a boy in Michigan, the other with a woman locally). I have a few sexual partners who I meet up with once in a while. I always practice safe sex.
A lot of people believe polyamory is primarily sexual or that poly-people use their relationship structure as an excuse to sleep around.
There is a big mis-conception about poly relationships. CHEATING DOES EXIST. It is simply different from monogamous relationships. Cheating in a poly relationship involves irresponsibility or lying about who you're sleeping with. If you want to maintain a poly relationship you must not lie to anyone involved. Weirdly, poly relationships have an even lower tolerance for lying than monogamous ones.
I'm wondering if there are any other poly people out there who are INFJs? Lets hear your stories.
