Eight Things I Wish I'd Known About Polyamory by Cunning Minx

I hope this blog can help poly/open couples recognize that their additional partners are not mere adjuncts to their primary relationship, but human beings who deserve full respect and consideration. Wow, wow, wow… That is exactly what I hope this blog might someday achieve! I hope will not only resonate with other solo poly people like me, but also with poly people who are in primary couples who often end up having relationships with solo poly people.

And that I hope gives Michelle some much-deserved validation, and a little help in the healing process. I don’t know if I can ever get that relationship back, but you’ve brought me some priceless understanding. This podcast illuminated that we pretty much went at everything the wrong way, and why it was the wrong way - and what it was that our third partner Michelle was trying to tell us and ask for all along but we didn’t get it. I just steered my vee relationship off the rails, and I couldn’t understand why it happened. I just put $50 in your tip jar to thank you for the “advice on how to welcome a third” podcast which explains your point of you. This week, Minx got a $50 tip and a heartfelt note from listener Joan, who is in a primary partnership couple.

5 post, Poly couples: What do you really have to offer new partners? (Minx also covered this topic in her Aug. The listener feedback segment starts about 29 minutes into the episode.īack on August 4, Minx wrote a blog post, From two to three: advice on opening up from an HBB. It gets to the heart of why it’s important for couples to care about couple privilege… Not just because she mentioned, but because of this bit of listener feedback she got, which I also found extremely touching, validating, and encouraging. I also know she has faced many of the same issues I face. This especially means a lot to me because like me, Minx is a poly person who does not have and (as far as I know) does not seem to be seeking a primary-style relationship (spouse-like or cohabitating). Many thanks to my friend Cunning Minx for spending a chunk of this week’s Polyamory Weekly podcast telling her many listeners about this blog! I’m so honored! I’ve loved Minx’s work for years, and I think she’s one of the brightest leaders in the poly community.
