'My insecurities were the same in monogamy and polyamory.'
When Siobhan and Rich met online and began dating they had barely heard of polyamory, let alone considered it for themselves. But after Rich came out to Siohban as polyamorous by orientation they made the decision to open their relationship, and they haven't looked back.
In a bathroom first, Siobhan and Rich join Cam and Ali to delve into the world of ethical non-monogamy. The couple chat navigating jealousy, how that first conversation went, their 'rules' and relationship agreement, their families' reactions, and how polyamory has enriched their lives.

In today’s episode of Separate Bathrooms, Cam and Ali are shifting focus from romantic to platonic love. For the first time, it’s a friendship taking centre stage, not a romance!
Join The Age and SMH lifestyle editor and author of Just Friends: On the Joy, Power and Influence of Friendship, Gyan Yankovich, along with her friend, author and returning guest, Gina Rushton, for an insightful exploration of friendship.
Listen as they share their own friendship 'love story,' and discuss the lack of language and milestones for friendships compared to romantic relationships. They also chat friendship breakups and breakdowns, male vs. female friendships, and how life can be richer when romantic relationships aren’t the main focus.

Should There Be a ‘Marriage’ Equivalent for Friends?

Writer Kerri Sackville and her partner Mike join Cam and Ali in the bathroom today — learn why we'll be inspecting the toothpaste tube once they leave!
In her books, and as a columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Kerri has documented her journey through marriage, divorce and years of dating in mid-life. Her most recent book The Secret Life of You: How a bit of alone time can change your life, relationships, and maybe the world is about embracing solitude. But in learning to be content by herself, Kerri also found love.
There's much to learn from Kerri and Mike's unconventional love story. Listen as they discuss dating in mid-life, the distinction between loneliness and solitude, why being single is better than being with the wrong person, and Kerri's quirky method of cutting bread.

How Learning To Be Alone Leads to Better Relationships

Cam and Ali are hosting an iconic Australian show-biz couple in the bathroom today.
Debra Lawrence and Dennis Coard got together 35 years ago, playing on-screen couple Pippa and Michael Ross on Home and Away. And, according to Debra, they still fancy the PANTS of each other. The couple also discuss keeping their relationship (and marriage) a secret on set, how marriage is similar to a corporation, the changing attitudes towards soap opera acting, and why they don't care about 'keeping romance alive'.
