Abstract: In modern society, traditional relationship models such as monogamous marriage are no longer the only socially acceptable form of partnership. They are being replaced by alternative models, including polyamory, open relationships, and long term longdistance relationships. These relationship forms reflect changes in social, cultural, and technological conditions, as well as the transformation of values and norms in society. The relevance of studying modern relationship forms is due to their growing popularity and influence on social structures. In the context of globalization, digitalization, and individualization, people are increasingly looking for flexible and adaptive models that suit their needs and lifestyle. Understanding these relationship forms allows us not only to expand scientific understanding of partnership, but also to develop practical recommendations to support people who choose non traditional models.

Keywords: model, relationships, polyamory, open relationships, partnership, longdistance relationships.
