Ep 46 - Vel + Jason

Amy and Scott started exploring non-monogamy fairly recently after Amy *technically* cheated on Scott... Luckily, it seems like the only problem Scott had was that he wasn't there for it! These two are so much fun and a great example of how introverts can successfully navigate swinging with a touch of polyamory!   Show Notes   Join Our Patreon Community!   $10 Off - Online STI Testing   6 Free Month Trial on Kasidie   Save $25 on gifts at The Enclosed with offer code "Emma25"   10% discount at myonecondoms.com with offer code "Emma"   https://www.normalizingnonmonogamy.com/

Robert shares an emotional story with us that spans the 18 year relationship with his partner as they navigated non-monogamy together. Ultimately, the relationship did not work out and he talks with us about why that is and how he is moving forward after a very difficult situation. This is a pretty intense and powerful episode and we're touched that he was willing to share it with us. We hope you appreciate it as much as we did.   Show Notes   Join Our Patreon Community!   Come meet us in person and help build an amazing community!   $10 Off - Online STI Testing   6 Free Month Trial on Kasidie   Save $25 on gifts at The Enclosed with offer code "Emma25"   10% discount at myonecondoms.com with offer code "Emma"   https://www.normalizingnonmonogamy.com/

Chloe and Drew share an incredibly powerful and moving story with us this week. Their 10+ year relationship has withstood challenges that are hard to comprehend. Throughout the journey they have had to redefine who they each are, what their relationship team looks like, and how they take on all future challenges. Oh yeah, and they're not even 30 yet... We hope this interview is as moving for you as it was for us.   Also, the audio smooths out after a few minutes. It's never terrible, but it gets better after about 5 minutes. :)   Show Notes   Join Our Patreon Community!   Come meet us in person and help build an amazing community!   $10 Off - Online STI Testing   Try 3 Months Free on Double Date Nation!!   Save $25 on gifts at The Enclosed with offer code "Emma25"   10% discount at myonecondoms.com with offer code "Emma"   https://www.normalizingnonmonogamy.com/

This week we get a fantastic look at how different partners can fulfill different needs in your life. Mark and Eliza have been together for a few years and have been exploring polyamory since the beginning. One of the best quotes from the episode is "We love each other and our relationship but it's not the most important thing in either of our lives."   We also recorded an addendum for this episode after Mark was recently diagnosed with HPV. They talk about how the diagnosis impacted both of them and shared a ton of amazing information. This is a super valuable listen for anyone facing an STI diagnosis, regardless of which STI it is.   Show Notes   Join Our Patreon Community!   Come meet us in person and help build an amazing community!   $10 Off - Online STI Testing   Try 3 Months Free on Double Date Nation!!   Save $25 on gifts at The Enclosed with offer code "Emma25"   10% discount at myonecondoms.com with offer code "Emma"   https://www.normalizingnonmonogamy.com/
