Welcome to A Polyamorous Perspective<\/em>, an advice column where I, Leanne Yau \u2013 a bisexual, polyamorous, and neurodivergent educator, writer, and advocate \u2013 answer your burning questions on navigating all things non-monogamy. I\u2019ve been in various forms of open relationships since 2016, and have been publicly sharing tips, personal stories, and resources on how to practise healthy, sustainable polyamory since 2020 on my page, @polyphiliablog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Polyamory is a non-monogamous relationship style where you can have multiple simultaneous loving relationships with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved. Over the years, it\u2019s brought me so much joy, but also comes with its own set of challenges \u2013 just like monogamy! With that, let\u2019s jump right in.<\/p>\n
