Monogamy? In this Economy?
Finances, Childrearing, and Other Practical Concerns of Polyamory
More and more queer and not-so-queer partners are taking the plunge and deciding to live and parent together. But wait - who lives with who? How do you navigate parenting children? How do you set up your home/finances/bathrooms? Laura Boyle, having interviewed over four hundred people living in every polyamorous configuration under the sun, has the answers for you. Forget 101s on jealousy and New Relationship Energy - this wise and pragmatic guide gets into the nitty gritty of living in polyamorous households long-term.
Boyle’s research into the lives of cohabitating polyamorous adults is illuminating and inspiring
Chock full of real life experiences as well as the Laura’s own personal experience, this book is a brilliant guide for people looking for advice on the physical realities that people will face when looking at cohabitation, combining finances and children. A gem of a resource that I will find myself recommending time and time again as soon as it’s available!
