@LenMandy Also: it is very easy to avoid a 6K word essay if one feels one must. People make it sound like the piece snuck up on them.

Any freelance writer who says they are only making a living on journalism, I have questions! The Post, the Atlantic, The Times - you get $500 for a piece for them, and it's a lot of work. Do you have "family money?" Do you live in a very cheap place? What is your secret?

“When I think about the love that shapes my life, I think of my partner & kids, but also of long-distance friendships, daycare workers, neighbours, & any number of intimacies we don’t have names for.” Mandy Catron discusses the benefits of broadening our understanding of love.

“I thought this was the end of me becoming a mother…But it was only the end of one part, the beginning of another. Before I explain everything that came next, I have to tell you about the octopus.”

I find it very telling that the Institute for Family Studies always uses the tag "Infidelity" for pieces about nonmonogamy. Not the most objective or thoughtful starting point for analysis.
Scott M. Stanley@DecideOrSlide
Of note, on Polyamory and Consensual Non-Monogamy. @KayHymowitz raises important points and thorny questions, esp about trickle down effects. Like others, I get asked about this phenomenon a lot. The buzz is real. ifstudies.org/blog/the-polya…
