Hey! I have a maybe silly question. What is a metamour?
Not a silly question at all!
The simplest answer is that a metamour is the other partner of your partner but is not your partner! In polyamory when you are in a relationship where two (or more) people are dating the same one person, but not each other, those two (or more) that are NOT dating are known as metamours. This is a special relationship all on its own in my opinion because metamours despite not being in a romantic relationship should have a strong platonic relationship. Meaning they should spend time together too, have their own time together that's separate from their romantic partner because polyamory requires a lot of communication and if the metamours don't get along then that's not great for a stable relationship. I know there are some cases where the metamours prefer no contact, but I personally believe having a strong connection to your metamour(s) only makes for a healthier relationship!
I hope that all made sense!
