Practical Polyamory #6: Handling Relationships Transitions
Relationships are rarely ever static. But we don’t often talk about the big transitions one can experience in ethical non-monogamy (ENM). How do you navigate a breakup, especially if you still have a shared polycule? What happens when two partners decide to get legally married when they also have other partners? This session will explore some common situations and ways to handle them. During this session, we’ll talk about: - Why breakups don’t have to be a bad thing - Managing the fallout when a breakup IS bad - How to talk about it when two or more partners want to get married, move, nest, or have kids, and other partners don’t - Relationship transitions that are more fluid without the escalator in place - Making big decisions as partners or as a polycule - Why it’s good to stay away from saying “never” Taught by relationship educator and coach Rebecca Rose Vassy, the Practical Polyamory series is perfect for those new to ENM who want the tools to succeed. It’s also great for those more experienced in the polyamory/ENM world who want to dive deeper into skill-building or find solutions to thorny problems. Watch a few sessions that interest you or purchase the bundle with all eleven. Class recording from 10/2/24. Please reach out to contact@tamarapincus.com if you need sliding scale.
