If you have any questions or anything you want us to discuss, feel free to drop me a message.
I’d like to coin the term “fragile monogamy” and the phrase “your monogamy is fragile” to refer to people who feel that the mere EXISTENCE of polyamory is a threat that delegitimises monogamy, relationships and love in general.
As we're moving in to tHe HoLiDaY sEaSoN for a lot of Queer & Trans folks that means dealing with hostile family. Or having no family at all. This is why Found Family is so important. And if you haven't found yours yet, you're welcome to join mine. They're a good lot.
I recently met a woman older than myself who found out I was polyamorous. She said “wow, you all are growing up in such a different generation. I think if I was raised in your generation I would have definitely been bi” …..so….who’s gunna tell her?
@nonmonogobee Great job being honest with yourself and asking for what you need! Its@not always easy to advocate for ourselves but I’m so glad you did it!
#polyamory self lesson:
i had a big cry with my partner about a transition i was afraid of - them sleeping at another partners apartment after almost 7 months of just sleeping with each other. AND now realizing my big emotional reaction was rooted in something else!
