Solo polyamory means that someone has multiple intimate relationships with people but has an independent or single lifestyle. They may not live with partners, share finances, or have a desire to reach traditional relationship milestones like marriage or cohabitation. A solo polyamorist is someone who maintains multiple intimate relationships while prioritising an independent lifestyle.
