Syndeamory: a form of amoryflux, gamyflux, and/or ambiamory where someone’s place on the monogamy-polyamory spectrum and/or type of nonmonogamous or polyamorous relationship(s) default to the orientations and prefferences of their partner(s).
Example: Stella is syndeamorous. Stella feels a sense of ambivalence towards relationship type until they are in one, at which point their orientation defaults to match their partner(s). If dating a monogamist, Stella would be a monogamist. If dating a nonmonogamist with a prefference for open relationships, Stella would share that prefference. If dating a polyamourous trio who wants their relationship to stay closed between the four of them, Stella would want the same. This does not mean that Stella has no standards or prefferences when it comes to who they’re dating, just that once they find the right person or people, they want what the relationship type that their partner(s) want.
Origin: Syndeamory comes from the greek σύνδεση or sýndesi, meaning connection, because syndeamorous people’s orientations are inherently connected to those of their partners.
Flag meaning: The syndeamory flag is based off of the polyamorous and monogamous flags. The black and white stripes at the top and bottom of the flag come from the monogamist flag. The black and white represent the two members of a monogamous relationship, and the set is repeated, both to illustrate that this is one of many possibilities, and to maintain a sense of symmetry to represent how a syndeamorous person’s orientation mirrors their partner(s). The blue and red stripes come from the polyamorous flag. Blue represents the openness and honesty among all partners in a polyamorous relationship, and red represents love and passion. The gray stripe represents the many possibilities that lie between monogamy and polyamory for a syndeamorous person. The greek letter, σ, or sigma is the first letter in the greek word, σύνδεση, or sýndesi, for which syndeamory was named. It’s golden color represents the value placed in relationships, and the gold stripes found around the flag represent how relationships are intertwined in every aspect of this identity.
