I believe that we have multiple soul mates! Or at least that there is no "one" perfect person. But yes, it can be super hard to find compatibility for all manner of reasons, personality, preferences, lifestyle, all kinds of stuff. And yes, sadly many men are undatable, simply because of how men...

Haha, I bet!! New Zealand is so small in some ways :D

This is correct - all children are entitled to basically full time care. We were entitled to care from 8am until 3pm for both kids at a forest kindergarten (called a "Waldkita"), but we didn't always use all the hours because I work freelance, so it was flexible for me to pick them up whenever...

Hi! Sorry, I just saw this! Here, daycare (where they were) is actually called "Kita" here, but it didn't really translate to a US audience well. Insider decided to just call it "kindergarten". My daughter started when she was 2, and my son started a couple of years later when he turned 2. The...

Thanks Kevin! That's basically how I feel, the Sting song is a great analogy!

Thanks for the question! Right now, neither my husband nor I have a stable partner. I had another couple of brief partnerships after my relationship with my girlfriend ended, but then COVID hit and everything shut down and I kind of went into hibernation ... Now that things have opened up...

Thanks for your lovely feedback, Kevin! I appreciate it!

Yes, thank you! I would love to. I realised only recently that probably I've learned quite a lot in my experiences over the years. I'd love to contribute and share!

Thank you!! I have always appreciated his ability to empathise and to process his own feelings well enough to be able to support me. It was always me who had a hard time with it (like you), but I learned a lot from him! I think being in a good place personally (as individuals) helps a huge...

Hey! I'd love to answer your questions! - No, I don't think the gender of the person I date has any affect - I've also dated men, and my husband was supportive there, too. He's also straight, so my husband only has relationships and hookups with women, and that doesn't change my acceptance of...

Yeah, I wanted to provide something kind of mundane and "real life" (but still happy!) so that people can see that non-monogamous relationships can be just like any other..

I wrote for Insider about my non-monogamous / poly relationship, my ex girlfriend, my husband, and navigating a rough breakup. https://www.insider.com/husband-supported-open-relationship-with-girlfriend-lgbtq-2023-5

Hi, all. :) I've been polyamorous for 12 years, and I've finally started taking a more active role in sharing my story to spread the love! I work as a writer, and now that I have more access to big publications like Insider and Huffpost, I'm trying to reduce stigma by sharing my...
