THE JOURNAL
A safe and brave space for intersectional conversations around sex, love, relationships, parenting, and life.
How do you know when it's time to end your marriage?
On paper I had it all — a successful tech career, my health, two daughters, a dog, a home we were safely in, I was cultivating the most beautiful adult friendships with my girlfriends, and a young marriage that had been through some shit and still standing.
But somewhere deep inside there was this quiet voice saying "You deserve more. You deserve to not feel like you're not enough or too much."
Okay...So now you are polyamorous Jo, WTF?
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.
