Everything In Conversation: Lindy West & The Great Polyamory Debate

Everything In Conversation: Lindy West & The Great Polyamory Debate

Hello EICockapoos! This week we're diving into some discourse that's been rumbling on steadily for a few weeks and spawning new discourse in its wake... Lindy West's latest memoir and what it reveals about her polyamorous relationship and wider attitudes to non-traditional ways of loving.


Some context: Lindy West is a feminist author, activist and comedian whose newly released memoir Adult Braces explores her journey from denial about her husband Aham's need to be poly and her eventual happy ending as one third of a triad with him and another partner. The details of the memoir have caused a bit of a stir after she described finding out from a third party that he was out kissing someone at a bar, with readers struggling to see this as anything other than what NOT to do when opening a marriage.


With your help we discuss the fall out, the coverage and the case for caution when exploring a non-normative relationship style. Thanks so much for all of your messages- we try to include as many as possible, but rest assured they are ALL read by us BTS and each one helps to guide our discussion.


Enjoy! O, R, B
