Accidental Polyamory: Now What?


Listen Later

Have you heard the term ACCIDENTAL POLYAMORY?

This is what some call those unexpected journeys that lead individuals and couples into exploring polyamory dynamics either as a willing participant or with some fear or resistance.

In this episode, Accidental Polyamory: Now What? we cover 3 different unexpected scenarios one can find themselves in.

Imagine you're in a monogamous relationship, and suddenly, one partner expresses a desire to explore consensual non-monogamy or open the relationship. How do you navigate those conversations and potential changes? 

Or, picture this: you're single and enjoying the dating scene when you meet someone amazing, only to find out they are polyamorous. How do you handle being with someone with multiple partners, and determine if this is a relationship style that suits you?

Maybe you’re already non-monogamous - like a swinger or in an open relationship - and then you or your partner start developing deeper emotional connections and want to shift to a more polyamorous model. How do you handle this significant change?

We share other definitions and terms you might come across in these situations like cowboy/cowgirl and poly-bombing.

Join us as we share real stories, expert insights, and practical advice for anyone finding themselves unexpectedly on the path to polyamory. 

Whether you’re curious about polyamory, already practicing some form of non-monogamy or simply interested in the diverse ways people love and connect, this episode is for you!
