The Hinterlands

Of Love & Polyamory (Phil Griffin, Pt 1)

Abram Hagstrom

For those who don't know, polyamory (the practice of having multiple romantic partners, often called an "open relationship") has recently seen a resurgence in popularity. Phil Griffin and I sat down to discuss his experience in this practice. In the course of our discussion, we touch on childhood impressions about marriage and divorce, cultural norms, the problems involved in pressuring one's partner to change, divergent strategies for responding to natural desires, and taking relationships to the breaking point and beyond.
