In a world that is constantly asking us to be “better” than we are, it is a courageous act to accept ourselves. But there comes a point in our lives when feeling whole and complete within ourselves becomes more important than fitting in or being who other people expect us to be. We get to a place where we finally get, with every fiber of our being, that self-acceptance, rather than trying to “fix” ourselves, is the path to wholeness.

You're probably wondering "Jo, why polyamory"?

My question to you is why do people get involved in interpersonal relationships? Why become romantically attached to anyone?

The answer of course isn't universal and it will vary from person to person. When I told Jonathan that I didn't believe in monogamy in 2018 we did some research on non-monogamy and he discovered polyamory. To me, that was more in line with what I hoped to experience rather than the idea of an open marriage that was just for sex or physical intimacy. For me, polyamory offers more resources and perspectives. In our experience, we've been able to grow and expand emotionally and intellectually in ways we never imagined we could.
