When I was in my twenties, I felt hopeless when relationship after relationship seemed to fail. It was always the same story. I was in love but I always found I eventually wanted to connect with other people. I would try to push this desire down, but that didn't work; I started feeling resentful, I cheated, I ended my relationships, left feeling confused and even more lost.
Finally, after my last monogamous relationship ended in 2016, I learned, there was another way. I could relate openly.
Since then, I’ve made a lot of mistakes but eventually found a loving partner, who I now have a beautiful baby with. We are non-monogamous and I’m so happy now I can have love, intimacy, and even a family and still be totally myself in my relationship.
