Episode 160: Let’s Talk About Polyamorous Relationships

• Scenario 1: Kamjana’s partner is interested in changing their relationship to be able to love not just each other, but other people. Kamjana is hesitant about doing this because of her moral beliefs. Should Kamjana give in to her partner and change their relationship or try to convince her partner to leave the relationship as it is?

• Scenario 2: Lam, Nitad, Claudell, Abdel, Quinton, Rheta, Jeannette, Oona, Gilbert, Soma, Manoj, Britt, Terrina, Vinessa, Iwan, Witold, Felipe, Dikembe, Park, Edwin, Kazimir and Yu are in a polyamourous relationship. Do you think this is too many people to be in a serious relationship?

• Scenario 3: Sang is in a polygyny relationship, which is to say he has multiple wives. One of his wives was ok with this relationship for 5 years, but has now decided that this is unfair to the rest of the wives. She wants them to transition to a polyamorous relationship, even though Sang has been in polygyny for over 30 years. Is this reasonable, or should the wife leave?
