Keeping this in consideration, what is a poly relationship like?

For some people, a polyamorous relationship involves being in a relationship with multiple people, but having one main partner. For others, polyamory is the possibility of being in two completely separate relationships. “Another tenant of polyamory is that both individuals know of their partner's lovers."

Also, how common are polyamorous relationships? It's estimated that 4 to 5 percent of people living in the United States are polyamorous — or participating in other forms of open relationships — and 20 percent of people have at least attempted some kind of ethical non-monogamy at some point in their lives.

Simply so, how long do most polyamorous relationships last?

They are saying it's very common that poly relationships only last for five years. One of them mentioned monogamous marriages now last about seven years.

Is polyamory a good idea?

Different people have different things they want out of life and out of their intimate relationships. Similarly, if you feel the other way around, i.e. you strongly desire polyamorous relationships, and you are not comfortable with monogamy, then polyamory is probably a very good idea.
