In this case, it's short for 'polyamorous'. It means I want to have relationships with multiple people at once. Which felt really shitty of me, when I thought the only way to do it was to be a cheating asshole.

The thing that helped me understand the difference between being polyamorous and being greedy is thinking of how much I hate love triangle plots. How many times has the ending of a romcom felt unsatisfying, because the rival love interest had her heart broken for no reason other than the protagonist feeling obligated to pick one?

If the interest is all mutual, and everyone knows what's going on, it's hurting people more to ignore all but one than it is to embrace what you really want.
