Polyamory Week 2022
Hello, and welcome to Polyamory Week 2022!
This is the third year I've marked Polyamory Week, and in that time, my understanding of and relationship with polyamory has continued to grow and develop. Because that's how all our relationships should be, whether we're polyamorous or monogamous.
Originally, I used this time as an opportunity to write about polyamory, but in the last year, this has become part of my full-time job. So while you might all have become fed up hearing me expand on all things polyamory, I still love marking this week.
The first year I did this week-long stretch of posts, I did so to "come out" about my lifestyle and celebrate it. I wanted to let you all know what I was doing and all the wonderful things about polyamory that had led to me making this decision.
For the second year, I chose to focus on the dark side of the lifestyle. Nothing is perfect, and I'm in no way oblivious to the things that can go badly in polyamory.
So what to do this year?
The last year of my life has been one of change. Both the relationships I was in when I began doing this have ended, and I've abruptly changed careers. And, as you imagine, this has led to a lot of introspection about all the things that happened that I simply had not expected.
So, for Polyamory Week 2022, I've decided to write about all the unexpected elements of polyamory. The things I've learned about relationships in general, and the things I've learned about myself. The things I didn't see coming and the things I saw coming but never imagined would be so significant.
So, please check back every day this week for a new post. Keep an eye out on social media, or why not subscribe to my newsletter to ensure you get all my new posts direct to your inbox.
Happy Polyamory Week, everyone. Here's to our continued learning about all the wonderful things our relationships can bring us.
