Written By Jessica Esfandiary

EPISODE 38

“Polyamory helps us get to know each other better. We get to play with that other side of ourselves and then come home to our partner and talk about and experience that with them. It brings newness and excitement back.”
— Melanie

Melanie and AJ’s relationship journey is a beautiful example of how polyamory looks different for everyone. In part one of this two-part conversation, you’ll hear their story of falling in love in their 20s, getting pregnant, and the challenges they faced in those early stages.
