Practical Polyamory #6: Handling Relationship Transitions

Title of Event: Practical Polyamory #6: Handling Relationship Transitions
 
 
Description of Event:
Relationships are never static– change is the only constant. We don’t spend enough time talking about some of the big transitions we can experience in ENM, so let’s start fixing that. 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? Can you transition from lovers to friends (and maybe back again)? Is it a good idea for metas to become partners as well? This session will explore some very common situations and ways to handle them, but it’ll be heavy on the discussion– so bring your life experiences and the situations you’re worried about or wrestling with.
 
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 rarely say “never”
 
There will be time at the end of the session for Q&A and discussion, with an anonymous form for submitting anything you’re too shy to say out loud. Join us for this final session to explore how to make the most of all the seasons of love.
