We return to the podcast after a long break to catch up with listeners while cooking dinner, showcasing our natural dynamic when discussing relationship topics.

• Married on Halloween almost two years ago while maintaining our polyamorous lifestyle
• Discussion of new partners – including a boyfriend (M) who has been in the picture for around 18 months
• Recent discovery that "jealousy" was actually feeling neglected when not getting enough individual time together
• Learning to balance having friends over with needing reset days as a couple
• Setting and respecting boundaries with metas, including what's comfortable in shared spaces
• Exploring dating philosophy – focusing on what brings joy to potential partners rather than physical aspects
• Communication as the most important element in any polyamorous relationship
• Discussion of when and how to share boundaries on first dates with potential new partners
• Testing a new, more natural podcast format that fits better with our conversation style

We explore the critical importance of setting boundaries in polyamorous relationships and share our personal experiences with establishing rules that work for our dynamic.

• Communication is the foundation of polyamory and essential for setting boundaries that prevent jealousy
• Creating a "needs, wants, and requirements" list helps clarify your relationship expectations and boundaries
• Requirements are non-negotiable aspects of relationships that warrant disengagement if not respected
• Establishing a secure foundation in your existing relationship before seeking new partners is crucial
• Setting boundaries about when to introduce new partners helps manage expectations and emotions
• Addressing problems immediately rather than letting them fester strengthens relationship communication
• Setting boundaries protects against insecurities and honors past traumas in relationships
• Creating space for individual decompression and alone time is an important boundary for many
• Boba dates provide a low-pressure way to meet potential partners without expectations
• The boundaries you set will evolve over time as your relationships and needs change

Make sure you write down your needs, wants, and requirements list. This will serve as your relationship cheat sheet and help you communicate your boundaries clearly with current and future partners.

We dive deep into Kitchen Table Polyamory, defining it as a family-style approach where all partners can comfortably share space together regardless of who is romantically connected.

• Kitchen Table Polyamory defined as prioritizing integration of multiple romantic relationships where all members can comfortably gather together
• Parallel Polyamory as the counterpart where separate relationships exist independently with minimal interaction between partners' partners
• Exploration of polycules and relationship structures including metamours, telemores, and satellites
• Discussion of physical boundaries and managing intimacy with other partners while sharing living space
• Garden Party Polyamory as a middle ground approach combining elements of both kitchen table and parallel styles
• Critical examination of problematic dynamics like unicorn hunting and one penis policy
• Personal experiences balancing energy, privacy, and respect in polyamorous relationships
