Ep 315 - Adam

Brian and his wife have been exploring non-monogamy in various capacities over the past few years and have ultimately decided to separate. To protect her privacy, they decided the best strategy would be for Brian to share the story on their behalf and we appreciate their vulnerability in doing so. It's a great example of how many people leap to the conclusion that non-monogamy caused the relationship to end but as you will hear, it's a lot more nuanced than that.   Show Notes   Fun MyOneCondom Holiday Survey!   Join Our Patreon Community!   $10 Off - Online STI Testing   6 Free Month Trial on Kasidie   https://www.normalizingnonmonogamy.com/

Eliza and Scott have been best friends for 25 years, they may have also hooked up a few times over the years. A recent car accident awakened something inside of them and now they're married. Not only that, they have an open marriage agreement. Sound simple enough? Didn't think so.. And it's actually a lot more complicated than it sounds.   These two have an incredibly heartwarming story and a very deep love and admiration for one another. They're learning to navigate a whole lot of new things together and have been discovering that while it's not always easy, they wouldn't change a thing about it.   Trigger Alert... Grab a tissue. There are some emotional parts and maybe a few tears. :)   Show Notes   Join Our Patreon Community!   $10 Off - Online STI Testing   6 Free Month Trial on Kasidie   https://www.normalizingnonmonogamy.com/
