Polyamory is not automatically “better” than monogamy. It is just a different relationship style that suits some people’s needs “better.”
It’s not a question of “better.” Polyamory is breaking free of the assumed monogamish assumption. Polamory opens up discussions about values, capacity, and what works for a set of people.
Books by Liz Ellyn where polyamory is challenged:
Overruling Judgment
Defending Engagement
Family gatherings on holidays or other celebrations can be a complicated mess for people in any kind of relationship. Making wild assumptions about someone’s plans is absurd. When closed-minded people label someone’s choices as “shame,” all they’re really doing is revealing their own ignorance.

I’m counting on my audiobooks to save my sanity this week.
My to-do list is long! I’m hosting Thanksgiving.
I invited a friend to join my family. And, a guest means there is a lot more cleaning to do. With two dogs, it’s impossible to keep a place clean all of the time. Did I mention that one of my dogs is part Bernese Mountain Dog? He sheds a LOT.
No worries! I got this under control this year and queued up a good list of audiobooks to keep me sane while cleaning and preparing food for turkey day. Funny enough, I’m not making a turkey. No one in my family besides me eats turkey. I’m cooking ham instead.
Recently, an author known to me came out as transgender. While I have always supported marginalized groups, this year struck a little closer to home.
I was not raised to be open-minded. I came to that decision on my own. Sometimes it takes something specific to open people’s minds. Maybe one day, there will be less negativity against transgender people.
A common misconception is that jealousy is a litmus test of whether or not a person cares deeply for someone else.
Compersion is the feeling of seeing your partner happy and content.
Choosing compersion over control seems like a kinder and healthier option.
