Meanings
nounnonmonogamy (uncountable)
- uncountableThe state of not being monogamous.
Though nonmonogamy seems to be on the rise — or at least society is more open about it than ever before — families consisting of three or more parents can face challenges that are in some ways different from, and similar to, those faced by divorced parents, single parents and L.G.B.T.Q. parents.
