In a hierarchical polyamorous relationship, secondary refers the person (or people) in the relationship who, either by intent or by circumstance, have a relationship that is given less in terms of time, energy, and priority in a person’s life than a primary relationship, though more than in a tertiary relationship (if tertiary is used in this relationship). Secondary partners may not be taken into account when big decisions are being made. If one has not come out as polyamorous, one may not talk about their secordary relationship(s).

Line 18:
In a hierarchical polyamorous relationship tertiary refers to the person (or people) in the relationship who, either by intent or by circumstance, have a relationship that is given less in terms of time, energy, and priority in a person’s life than a primary or secondary relationship. Generally tertiary relationships quite casual and little is expected in terms of emotional support. They may also be very limited with respect to time, energy, or priority in the lives of the people involved.

The hierarchical polyamory flag was created by NonMonoPrideFlags on DeviantArt on December 30, 2015.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/nonmonoprideflags/art/Hierarchical-Polyamory-Pride-Flag-581139230</ref> The flag used the colors of the polyamory flag but has a different structure to show the difference in power between partners in a hierarchical polyamorous relationship.
