Monogamy is a relationship with only one partner at a time. Many modern relationships are still monogamous and arguably it is still the societal norm. Polyamory is the complete reverse. It is a open or non-monogamous relationship that follows certain guidelines.
Although polyamorous relationships are becoming more accepted, we still have a long way to go! There is a huge amount of judgement about anything that is not monogamy. Everyone has an opinion that is often not a positive one.
Mel and Suzie discuss monogamy and polyamory from their different "gen X" and millennial perspectives. Listen to what they think. Although they both agree people should just be aloud to live in the way that makes them happy, Mel thinks that polyamory is complicated. It's different to an open relationship. Having a relationship with one person is hard enough but more than one person at a time in the same relationship, does that work? Sex is one thing, a relationship is a whole other thing.
There is of course no right answer. What works for one person does not for the next. We are all unique in every aspect of our lives.
