Demiamorous

Not to be confused with demifidelity. Demiamorous is a term to describe when one is somewhere between agamous/nonamorous and monogamous/monoamorous. This can be for many reasons, including but not limited to:


 * Fluctuating between agamous and monogamous.
 * Not desiring a relationship, but being okay with being in one.
 * Questioning whether one is agamous or monogamous.
 * Not feeling fully committed to a relationship, but more committed than an afidelitous person would be.
 * Being agamous for one type of relationship, but monogamous for another type. For example, being agamous towards romantic relationships but monogamous towards queerplatonic relationships.
 * Being a-spec, which results in one not feeling normal attraction to one's partner.
 * Any other circumstances which result in one being in between agamous and monogamous.

Demiamorous people may desire or prefer a wavership or simulship over completely committed relationships.

Demiamorous is similar to, but not the same as, demifidelity.
