Laura and Casey cover a ton of ground in this extremely relatable episode. They are in their mid-30's and have been together for over 20 years. In that time, one of them definitely didn't nail it when bringing up non-monogamy to the other, they have shifted their approach a few times, seen powerful shifts in their confidence, navigated raising kids, and have been having a lot of fun! This one has a little something for everyone and we think you will love it!

In her early twenties Dedeker continually found herself wanting to cheat on her partners even though she loved them and still wanted to be with them. She never cheated, but after confessing this to a friend of hers one night, he pitched the idea of open relationships to her. After she was done being offended, she researched it extensively and began the incredible journey that led to the story she shared with us. Beyond that, her experiences and wisdom have helped her craft the incredible Multiamory podcast as one of its three co-hosts. This conversation literally takes us around the world and across pretty much the entire spectrum of non-monogamy.

Claire and Phil met in high school but didn't end up getting together until a few years later. They've been together for over 10 years now and sort of stumbled into non-monogamy pretty early on after giving each other hall passes in college. Spoiler alert, it was a learning experience! Since then they have had some ups and downs and explored a blend of swinging and polyamory. Lately, it seems as if they're finding their groove and they are loving it!   Show Notes   Fun MyOneCondom Holiday Survey!   Join Our Patreon Community!   The Monogamish Marriage Blog   $10 Off - Online STI Testing   6 Free Month Trial on Kasidie   https://www.normalizingnonmonogamy.com/

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/
