POLYAMORY WEEK 2020

It's the last day of Polyamory Week 2020. So where are things headed for me going forward?

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, I’d just like to say I hate Valentine’s Day.

There is no clear and easy resource to tell you how to “do” ethical non-monogamy. And just because someone’s been involved in the scene longer doesn’t mean they know more than you, or are necessarily doing it “better”.

Part of the reason for engaging with Polyamory Week was to fill people in about our situation. Frankie and I decided we weren’t going to make a big deal about what we’re doing. But it’s also something we want to celebrate.

Polyamory means different things to different people.

For me, polyamory is the freedom of possibility. In short, it opens up new experiences to explore the world without traditional views becoming barriers.

I’m going to start with the assumption everyone reading this understands monogamy, being the standard default relationship in western culture. So default, in fact, that a lot of people never even consider there being alternatives.

I’m proud of my life, the choices I’ve made, and the people that those choices have led me to. I will never be a polyamory-evangelist, but I love the idea of spreading awareness of the lifestyle.
