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.
