On Mono / Polyam Dynamics (Patreon)

Hope you're having a lovely Sunday!

Quite a few monogamous folks have asked me to touch on mono / polyam dynamics, where a monogamous person is in a romantic or interdependent relationship with a polyamorous person. So, let's talk about it!

While it isn't something I participate in anymore, I've chatted with quite a few mono / polyam folks in my community this month. They offered insights on what they consider, what questions they ask themselves, and other things they look out for in this dynamic specifically. Maybe it will be helpful for you!
