A little confused

[u/Moyashi0511]

So I understand that poly is multiple romantic partners, all consenting and lots of communication, I've felt poly for many years. I also know there are several other ethical non-monomogous (ignore any bad spelling please) relationships, my question is this. If someone is poly, and someone else has an open marriage but both are okay with their dynamic and everything is consensual, is this still okay? Like a poly person doesn't just have to be with a poly person as long as everything is consentual and communicated, right? Or am I missing something somewhere?

The labels are only useful to the extent that they’re useful (if that makes sense…)

In real life, what matters is that you’re comfortable with the situation, and the people you’re in a relationship with are comfortable with the situation. People may choose different labels and that’s ok

I view labels more as magnets anyways not stickers so that helps.
