#1 The half of poly relationships that end due to causes other than polyamory are caused by the same issues that monogamous people experience when their relationships end. The problems are often more complex due to the non-monogamous nature of the relationship.

#2 Cheating in a monogamous relationship is when a person has sex and/or romance with anyone outside the relationship, and usually involves lying and a betrayal of trust. In polyamorous relationships, many people cheat, but since sex with others is allowed, cheating is usually defined as breaking an agreement about sex or other relationships.

#3 It is important to remember that any partner can make a mistake, especially if they are under the influence of lust, alcohol, drugs, or infatuation. However, being poly can help solve some sexual problems, especially if one person wants sex more than the other.

#4 Having multiple partners can allow you to get your optimal amount of sex. However, this comes with some risk. If you start having great sex with another partner because your partner at home has a lower sex drive than you do, you may start to transfer your romantic and sexual loyalty to the new partner.
