31. What do you get out of being non-monogamous – it’s a lot of extra work so why do it?

Love.  And community.

I did not know such amounts of love before I identified as non-monogamous.  There is one thing I am completely sure of this last year – I am well loved.  I have absolutely no doubt of this.

The poly community in my area has been unprecedently awesome at being a social resource.  They have their own problems, as any group does, but I have met so many amazing  people because I got involved with it.  On a smaller scale, my polycule is also my community – having them reminds me why I do this, each and every day.
