Is Polyamory Better?

December 6, 2025 lizellyn Romance #boundaries, #Nonmonogomy, #polyamory, #relationships, #respect

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

November 29, 2025 lizellyn Romance #boundaries, #Nonmonogomy, #polyamory, #relationships, #respect

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.

International Pronouns Day … It’s an issue of respect

October 15, 2025 lizellyn Uncategorized #InternationalPronounsDay, #Pronoun, #respect, #ShareYourPronouns

Show RESPECT
Respect isn’t complicated.
We have been taught to be respectful from an early age.
We honor names, titles, and ranks because we value people.
Pronouns are no different.
They’re part of who someone is.
Using them correctly costs nothing but means everything.

Don’t be rude and post DNF book reviews

May 14, 2025 lizellyn Bookish #authorcommunity, #authorlife, #bookcommunity, #booklovers, #BookReviews, #DNF, #respect, #ReviewingBooks

LET’S BE REAL … publicly DNFing a book is like saying, ‘I hate this book,’ even if that’s not the full story. Posting a DNF carries a more negative tone than the personal decision itself.

There are legitimate and unfair reasons for leaving book reviews stating DNFing a book.

Here’s a personal example from this past weekend:

I started reading ACOTAR, but an early scene involving harm to an animal triggered me after the recent loss of my dog, so I stopped. This is a ME issue, not the book’s fault. Would I leave a review saying I DNFed it? NO! It’s not fair to the author. (Not that my review would impact this popular book, but the principle stands.) I will probably revisit the book later.
