if you are someone that needs a little extra reassurance from your friends or partner, i’ve found it really helps them when you are clear about why you need the reassurance and what you need it about. “i’m feeling insecure about…” “how do you feel about me or my ability to…”

The hardest part of being non-monogamous (poly, open, etc) isn't the relationship(s) itself, it's Explaining To Monogamous People How That Shit Works

Polyamory Truth: Specific feelings don't have to lead to specific types of relationships. You can be madly in love with someone and remain purely platonic. You can have platonic feelings for someone and be life partners who share a home, income, children, etc. When you learn 1/2

Why feel embarrassed that you met on a dating app? We cause ourselves unnecessary suffering by believing there’s a superior way to pursue love, as if the way people meet matters more than the fact that they did. Meet-cutes are fun, but don’t magically lead to better connections.

polyamory is often treated like it's unromantic or selfish but it's kinda fucking sweet. anyway, here's a pic of me coworking with my metamour & our man yesterday.

I remember watching the Sense8 orgy scenes for the first time and genuinely realising for the first time that sex on screen could be art.

I don’t fall in love easily. Many people think polyamorists fall in love constantly simply because we can. Love comes quicker to some of us than others, but being open to love does not mean we are always in the right space for it, physically, mentally, spiritually.

Jealousy is a symptom. If you are willing to look at the root cause, there is a good chance that healing will also lessen the jealous emotions.

Consider what it would feel like to call monoamory, non-polyamory?
What if we called all heterosexual people, non-queer?
Words have impact, and othering a group often starts with the way we use language.

In conflict, it often helps to slow down and focus not just on hearing but on truly understanding each other. Our partner ought to be a teammate, not an opponent. There is time for everyone to feel heard, but if we’re both fighting to go first we might never manage it.

Just a bit of fun asking an AI to be me - I don’t hate what it came up with.

Conflict doesn't have to be a bad thing, though many of us have been raised to fear it. When handled in a healthy way, it can lead to growth, understanding, and stronger relationships.

Regardless of whether you’re monogamous or some form of non-monogamous: relationships contribute the most to people’s wellbeing when they allow them to exercise autonomy and be connected at the same time.

I’ve never felt more polyamorous than saying the phrase, “My boyfriend’s wife, who is my girlfriend, and her girlfriend aka my metamour, came to visit me at work and bring me hugs”

We may well be able to remain in a happy partnership with someone for a lifetime, but equally our partnership may need to evolve or end to make way for things that suit us both better now. This is not a failure, but rather a sign that we are both taking our happiness seriously.

Partners don't own their partners.
Parents down own their children.
Bosses don't own their workers.
Doctors don't own their patients.
Politicians don't own their constituents.
No one owns you but you.

Don’t search “polyamory” on twitter unless you want to have a whole bunch of misinformation and disgust thrown at you. That’s my bad choice for today!

Some people clearly still need to learn that healthy polyamorous relationships are not free for alls where anybody can just sleep with anyone without any regard, you still have to communicate and check in with your partner(s), because cheating can and does exist in polyamory
