I went to therapy for 3 yrs w a pro-poly counselor, who was also non judgmental of us home-schooling our older kids and co-sleeping w infants/toddlers/kindergartners. And ok w me being bisexual. (god I am weird lol) She helped me a lot.
It's nice they provide a link there to open-minded therapists.
Two things... One is Thank you ! It took me a year to tell my therapist and she is the best one I've ever met.... thats saying a lot because I have had counselling and therapy for around fifteen years (long story) I was also afraid that because of my lifestyle and beliefs she might report me and try to have my kids taken from me (yes it happens)
holy shit, you mean there's a name for that? oh wait, isn't that the title of another thread. LOL
one woman multiple men, the opposite of polygamy....
neat.
again, thanks fer the link this thread is awesum!
I love his article, and I love how he made it a reply to a very judgemental article where the therapists generally were saying "monogamy is right because it works for us, so everyone else should do it to". Their article was written to be very "GroupThink" (meaning 'everyone think like us, and don't question why') The biggest thing about the original article that irked me is that it kept relating poly to cheating, essentially saying even though we're completely honest with our partners about our lovers, we're still lying (yeah, that TOTALLY makes sense )
People who are against nonmonogamous relationships just have such weak arguments.
All in all, I applaud his article, not only for it destroying their argument, but because it just genuinely made sense
