Ethical non-monogamy: Any consensual non-exclusive relationship.

Open relationship: Couple allows outside s-xual partners, often remains emotionally exclusive.

Monogamish: Mostly monogamous, occasional outside s-xual partners.

Polyfidelity: Exclusive commitment within a group. Faithful to several, closed to others.

Relationship Anarchy: No hierarchy, rules, or labels. Values individual freedom.
