Is Polyamory Better?

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.

Polyamory – don’t make foolish assumptions

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.

Romance Audiobook Salvation

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.

Transgender Day of Remembrance

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.

Unlearn Jealousy

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.
