Has anyone had any experience with poly relationships? I don't

Not every single case, but it's kind of like winning a lottery when you have two people who are both emotionally equipped to deal with that sort of thing, not feel any significant amounts of jealousy, be excellent enough communicators to make the kind of thing work, and finally love each other enough that neither would ever think of leaving even when (also) falling in love with someone else who is better in every way.

In short, it isn't for most people. Poly is NOT the same as being in an open relationship or swining, as those (along with being their own beasts) are more centered on physical attraction rather than emotional stability.

Yeah, this.
Although I wouldn't say it's SUPER rare, it takes people who are equipped and able to handle the feelings and able to communicate and deal with people to make it work. Lots of people have successful poly relationships, and even more can't even maintain monogamous, or are only really able to deal with monogamy. It's all dependent on people and factors and just making sure you're with someone who can respect you and be willing to do what it takes to deal with the situation.
