Metamour Day was created to honor the relationships between you and your metamours, however that might look. It is not about forced compersion. It’s about communal appreciation within our family structures and modeling positivity to the world around us. Metamour Day is a recognition of the unique and special relationships between metamours.
l Día de Metamor es una forma de apreciar el papel especial de un Metamor, la pareja de tu pareja, y de reconocer el impacto benéfico y de apoyo de la no monogamia en nuestras vidas colectivas. Se trata de una apreciación comunitaria de nuestras estructuras familiares, en lugar de una compersión forzada (lo opuesto a los celos, es una reacción emocional positiva a la otra pareja de un ser querido).
