The world of non-monogamy is a maze of confusing labels. Trying to be "Polyamorous" when your heart actually needs "Swinging" isn't just a vocabulary error; it’s a recipe for misery.

You can't build a stable home on a foundation that doesn't fit your psychology. This tool analyzes your emotional bandwidth and jealousy triggers to design the exact structure you need. Stop trying to squeeze into a box that doesn't fit. Build a relationship that actually feels like home.
