PPP #063: Are Poly Break Ups Terminal?

Ever thought about why breakups in polyamorous relationships feel so final? Well, that's the topic we're exploring today.

We explore some of our personal experiences and consider whether it's the absence of sexual connection, the unique glue binding polyamorous relationships or that there is nothing unique about polyamorism that makes these breakups feel so terminal.

We're also delving into the power dynamics within polyamorous relationships. You know those relationship escalators, the standard steps like dating, moving in together, marriage, and having kids, they can sometimes work a little differently in polyamory. When things end, there's not just two, but multiple hearts involved, making the situation increasingly complex. But fear not, we're discussing a potential solution: de-escalation, a strategic stepping back on the relationship escalator to alleviate unnecessary pain and confusion.

So, whether you're curious about polyamory or you're already a part of the polyamorous world, we've got an enlightening episode just for you. Let's get the conversation rolling!
