Statistics, original meaning of a romantic relationship?
It's been called open marriage or open relationship for a reason. Because the default assumption was it's not. There's even that weird term "cheating".
Everyone acts like monogamous relationships are normal because they are. And polyamorous relationships are an exception. You'll have to deal with it.
They shouldn't. Lots of people don't even know polyamoury is an option, and they're groomed from early childhood to understand relationships as exclusive and to get jealous. That's a toxic culture. It's okay to have complicated and difficult feelings, that's part of being human, but it's not okay to pressure children into sharing those feelings as they get older.
