In an exploration of open marriages, community members shared diverse experiences, highlighting a 'kitchen table' polyamory style that fosters inclusion and support. Many described mundane yet humorous anecdotes from their daily lives, emphasizing the normalcy of their relationships. The balance between romance and friendship among partners is crucial, as illustrated by shared responsibilities like child care and household chores. Individuals noted the evolving communication skills required for successful open marriages, bringing a unique sense of joy and fulfillment to their lives while navigating complexities in these relationships.
We practice 'kitchen table' polyamory, where we're both able to date and explore relationships with others, and where our other partners are involved, welcomed, and celebrated in our lives as part of our larger community and family.
Most of our funniest stories involve sitcom-style shenanigans, like getting a video call to help talk a partner through tying a specific knot during a kinky hookup with someone else.
While we've certainly had ups and downs, and it took us some practice to learn how best to communicate and advocate for our needs, we benefit immensely from the extensive support, flexibility, and care that comes from our relationship style.
We're all looking at buying a multifamily home together this year to make the support easier.
