ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Big Love

"Big love" means loving someone a lot more than usual. It's like when you really, really love something or someone, like your favorite toy or your mommy and daddy. It's so much love that your heart feels like it's going to burst!

Sometimes, grown-ups have big love for more than one person at the same time. This is called polyamory or having multiple romantic partners. It means they love more than one person a whole lot, but everyone involved knows and agrees to it. It's like having a big family with lots of love to go around!
