Another Q & A

This week’s episode is answering more of your questions! This Q & A will be discussing some of our Patrons’ questions, like:

• I want to start doing regular RADAR's with my partner but I have so many trains of thought and am in the process of unlearning/relearning that I tend to overflow and overwhelm others when trying to share. I'm worried I'll dominate our discussions. How do I move past this worry and start?

• I often feel like there is a binary divergence between my partners and I when it comes to trust. I like to ask clarifying questions and be informed about things that might impact myself or my partners, but several of them feel like this means I don't trust them to hold my best interests in mind. How do I balance my need for informed consent with my partner's expectation that I trust them?

• My best friend, who is not poly, became friends with my new partner's partner. I feel like I've let the boundaries between my social circles get blurry and my friend doesn't realize how her relationship with my metamour is impacting me. How can I have conversations with friends about my new boundaries when it comes to my polycule?

• Where can I find a poly-positive, or at least poly-neutral therapist?

• What are some best practice recommendations for engaging in FWB type relationships? How do you suggest reassessing/shifting boundaries with other partners if the FWB relationship starts to become more involved?

• What advice would you give to someone who is transitioning back to monogamy after being polyamorous?
