If you were in a poly relationship, how would you handle it? - Hypothetically speaking - or not, if you are actually are poly

No for many reasons.

I’m an anxious person. I’m a person with fairly low self esteem. If my partner were to see someone else I’d take it upon myself that there would be something insufficient with myself that my partner had to seek in someone else.

I couldn’t imagine myself looking for another. Relationships are hard work with just a singular person. It’d be stressful to spread myself out with multiple people.

Poly relationships seem like just a miscommunication away from an utter meltdown. People who think they can realistically workout are kidding themselves.
 
"Honey, I want to open our relationship, I want to try polyamory."

Me exiting the relationship in record time.

On a serious note, even if you said no, you'd start to wonder if they would start seeking action secretly on the side after saying that, probably just the beginning of the end realistically. I'd have to have a serious look at myself, because somehow I missed this gigantic character flaw in my mate. What if you stayed, and there was a pregnancy, big yikes.
