Creating Successful Mono / Poly Relationships
A 75 Minute Talk + Q&A With Expert, Elisabeth Sheff
The Non-Monogamy Mismatch: When one partner wants non-monogamy and another does not.
As consensual non-monogamy (CNM) has become increasingly popular, more people are realizing that they have a mismatch in their desire for non-monogamy. Many struggle endlessly thinking there is only one way to be open, not knowing that there are actually many different styles to choose from.
Would you like to hear from someone who has actually been studying and writing about this subject for decades?
Well, introducing Dr. Elisabeth Sheff!
