Finally, I’ve found a use for my Cambridge law degrees!In this episode I work out what makes a good relationship rule, creating the “Ned test” (not an official name) of the 3 elements that every good rule needs, trying it out on some real examples.

In 2024, my wife and I found out I’m not our daughter’s biological father. I tell the story of our open marriage, describing in forensic detail how we ended up in this unusual situation and pausing along the way to explore bigger topics around polyamory: conquering jealousy and relationship fear, balancing rules, trust and freedom, and managing communication with other people.
