539 - Introducing My Polyamorous Partner to My Monogamous Parents: Listener Q&A

Introducing parents and partners

This week’s question from our Supercast subscribers is:

“My partner of almost a year, who is very experienced with polyamory, is about to meet my parents, who are very much less experienced with it. This is my first relationship with someone who is non-monogamous. There's almost certainly still a stigma in their eyes, or at least some feeling that their son is going to get hurt in some Hollywood caliber love triangle of despair. I don't really have the type of relationship with my parents that includes talking a lot about sex or romance, and I'm not sure I'm looking to change that any time soon, but I want to make sure that they understand that my partner is very committed and nothing but a positive for me. Any advice to make this introduction go more smoothly? 

Signed,

Freaking out at Family Brunch”
