Another Email From N.

Another Email From N.


Now this one was a real surprise! She told me that her husband had suggested an open relationship some time ago. Of the people she had considered, one was a woman. But in sum, no one ever quite lived up to the promise. Even for her husband, he was left re-evaluating it.

She told me she was going to send me a copy of The Ethical Slut. Toward the end of the email she said she felt 'liberated' by the idea of polamory, even if she never pursues it, She went on to say that whatever else, she has more room to form her own identity.

I wonder, and hope, that there is room for me somewhere in her Land of Its Complicated.

Take the Ethical SLut and toss it out. It an old book and even though it was updated, the information is old fashioned and not that helpful.

here is a much better, much more moden book called Opening Up by Tristan Taoromino, it came out 2 or 3 years ago. It pretty much lays out what questions you need to be asking, and what you should be thinking about going into a relationship. This will help you minimizes bad behavior and nasty break ups later.

Thank you for the info! The point though, is that she is already familiar with, and comfortable with the notion of polyamory. And it gives her room to make a space for me in her life.
