Nuance in Solo Polyamory (Patreon)

Good morning!

I've been hearing some stress lately in solo polyamorous people who feel frustrated by the (perceived) binary of independence vs. interdependence.

Sometimes total autonomy in housing or finance or child rearing isn’t possible. If people can’t afford rent without roommates, sometimes close friends or partners are the only option. Divorced exes may be single, but still co-parenting. With interdependent circumstances outside someone’s control, does that make them incapable of solo polyamory? It's a conversation that often lacks nuance. So, let's talk about it!

• 00.00 Intro to solo polyam
