What Does Commitment Actually Mean Here?

Everyone talks about commitment in relationships, but what does it actually mean when you have more than one? Is it implied or does it have to be stated out loud? Can you even cheat in a poly relationship? This episode the PolySoCal roundtable takes on one of the most misunderstood assumptions about ethical non-monogamy — that having multiple partners means having no structure at all. Noah breaks down commitment as negotiation, Cookie reframes it as behavioral alignment rather than a promise, Cupcake ties it to expectations and chronic unpredictability, and Heather cuts right to the heart of it with the most honest definition of the night. And for the first time, a monogamous voice joins the table offering a perspective that turns out to be closer to poly than anyone expected. By the end, one question nobody saw coming reframes everything: can you cheat while polyamorous? The answer might surprise you.
