Hazel and James started their relationship over a decade ago, but with a twist... Hazel was married. She talks about how she has reconciled the guilt from her infidelity and how she and James have used it as a catalyst to open their own marriage as a team. They have been exploring non-monogamy for a few years and in that short time they have covered everything from swinging to having a partner and her kids move in with them. This is an incredible story and these two are fantastic storytellers!   See photos and more details of all our guests by checking out the Show Notes!   Get a 20% discount at MyOneCondoms.com using the offer code "nnmpodcast"   Join Our Patreon Community!   $10 Off - Online STI Testing   6 Free Month Trial on Kasidie   https://www.normalizingnonmonogamy.com/
