Unveiling Our Five-year Polyamory Journey

The player is loading ...

The podcast 'Beyond Monogamy' reveals a discussion about a couple's venture into polyamory. Adam expresses enthusiasm at the idea of multiple romantic relationships, while Pris was resistant due to discomfort around time sharing. Circumstances became more challenging due to Pris' menopause and depression, and a temporary separation for work reasons. Ultimately, polyamory wasn’t for them and they ended their journey after five years.
