She's Polyamorous, He's Monogomous, Exploring Mono-Poly Relationships with Courtney Boyer

What happens when one partner is monogamous and the other is polyamorous? In this fascinating interview, I speak with Courtney Boyer, author of Monogamy, about what it’s really like to navigate a relationship where one partner wants monogamy and the other embraces polyamory. We explore the realities of mono–poly relationships, including how couples navigate jealousy, boundaries, communication, intimacy and everyday life when they have different relationship structures. Courtney also shares insights into opening up after monogamy and what it can be like to challenge the relationship expectations we’ve been taught. We go deeper into the influence of purity culture and sex-negative upbringing, looking at how growing up with shame around sex, desire and relationships can shape the way we experience intimacy as adults.
