A polyamorous married male with long hair and a beard (her normal type) emailed her three to four weeks ago. She had lots of new relationship energy for him. I soon realized that she couldn't be trusted because she's too flaky.

Yeah, trust is one of those absolutes.

Do you associate trustworthiness with monogamy? Do you think you'll be 
happy with a monogamous relationship in the long term, or might you end 
up wanting to explore polyamory again?

Namaste,
Cyn
