multi-partner
Several romantic partners
Multi-partner describes arrangements involving more than two participants, typically in romantic or sexual relationships.
A multi-partner household might include three or more adults sharing domestic life.
The term appears in discussions of polyamory, open relationships, and non-traditional family structures: multi-partner marriage, multi-partner parenting.
It also applies outside relationships—multi-partner business ventures—though less commonly.
