if you dont wanna watch their 1-1s from afar, why ask for a front row seat? 😅 since “couple to throuple” aired, i’m getting more duos asking how to find their third. please know that its not just Monogamy+1, its a complex set of 4 unique relationships (A-B, A-C, B-C, and ABC). Some duos dont feel willing to date separately because they dont want to be excluded, but unfortunately you will sometimes be excluded in a triad because your partners have their own unique thing with each other now, as do you. In polyamory, there’s no getting around confronting fears, insecurities, control issues etc. We aren’t just adding extra partners, we are looking inward and radically changing ourselves.
Replying to @The cake is not a lie “Let” as in not punish. Social coercion to build a nuclear family is very real, you are not alone ❤️ #polyamory #nonmonogamy
dealing with things while they’re still small can help so much. Community, partnerships, friendships - all relationships - are maintained in these tiny interactions. preventing resentments can help us stay close. ❤️
#duet with @Professor Neil can we not be vigilantes for clout please? 🤦🏼♀️ outing nonmonogamous people can get them fired, denied housing, shunned or cut off by family, lose custody of kids, it could otherwise be leveraged against them in court... women like this arent helpful, theyre not hashtag girls’ girls, they just wanna be saviors to people whose situation they know nothing about. #nonmonogamy #polyamory #bryanwithay
Replying to @Panda unlinking status from safety, unlinking primacy from personal worth, were game changers for how relaxed my polyamory could feel and how strong my sense of community could be. Its not always an easy reframe to internalize, but you also dont gave to get there alone. ❤️ #polyamory #relationshipanarchy #nonhierarchicalpolyamory #nonmonogamy #relationships
i ran away in 07, lost my friends, roommates, therapists, mentors, chosen family were all gone overnight. they controlled who i could date, live with, where i could work or go to school, tracked my money, took my car keys if i was acting “unhealthy”… i came to them feeling broken and i did start to heal, but they wouldn’t let me run my own life after that. they said if i left (stopped paying or conforming) i would unalive myself. Community shouldn’t need fear to stay together. 👀 I had a LOT of turmoil & rebuilding ahead, a lot of travma processing and ugly cries. but today I’m deeply happy, trust myself, am my own boss, I’m in long term relationships & friendships of my choosing (polyamorous 12 years), my new people actually ARE a community, theres mutual aid & autonomy, not authoritarian power. and i get to help other people trust themselves more, live and love on their own terms. Feeling so grateful. 🙏🤘🔥 #cultsurvivor #cultrecovery #HealingJourney • Photos by @noheroes.jpg @Oyèmi Noize 🎉
These shows are ok w/ nonmonogamy as long as it’s messy, entertaining, and a phase. ##loveisblind##LoveIsland##thebachelor##theultimatum##nicklachey##98degrees##nonmonogamy##polyamory
