Hi,
Both my best friend and I are at the beginning of our poly journeys.
For my best friend, the time has come where she needs to tell her (original, previously mono) partner what has happened (that she has (kind of accidentally) finally become poly.)
I will eventually have to have the same discussion with my partner.
Are there any helpful guidelines for how to have this most challenging conversation?
I assume that a lot of people find that they don’t first decide to become poly – then tell their partner – and then take action.
I assume that many ppl have flirted with the idea of being poly, not really discussed it with their partners, then it happens and then they need to go back and have “THE CONVERSATION”…
Any help/ suggestions would be appreciated!
Many thanks,
Soph
Sheesh. I *fully* understand you guys not coming over to Sweden on the Europe leg of the tour, but dang I would’ve loved meeting you two. Ah well, another time maybe. Hope you have an awesome tour. 🙂
Any potential plans to come to Toronto? Please do!
Hi Franklin,
It will be great If you could come to Tel Aviv (it is a flight of about 4 hours from Europe).
We have a vibrant and growing poly community here, but most of people didn’t hear about your book and keep asking each other questions that you have answered 😉
I can help with the organization – is there a minimum number of people that will make it worthwhile for you?
Best,
Pavel
