4:20 Topic: When do I call it quits on my marriage?

Meagan is queer and married a cis man to fulfill family and societal expectations. The past year (2019), her husband H and she moved to a new city and have been dating a lot. She's had mind-blowing sex with a new partner as is questioning her desire to stay in her marriage and be a wife. Meagan isn't sure they can commit to the hierarchical poly their husband wants.

• If you're not sure who you are or what you want, focus on your most important relationship: the one you have with yourself. Take time to understand yourself, your needs, and your shame through counseling, journaling, meditation, or whatever method works for you.
• Uncharted territory can be seen as an opportunity.
• If you're close to your mom, it's likely that she will even accept your queerness and poly, in time.
