    Boring Polyamory: Equality and Bedrooms

    The other month, I described my polyamory as 'boring', which attracted lots of interesting questions and feedback. Let's address the first one - why does my partner not have a bedroom of 'her own', even though both of her partners get one?

I have ยฃ2.50, half a loaf of bread, a tin of beans, and a packet of super noodles to live on until my cheque is cashed. I don't think that Sainsbury's Recipe Finder โ€ฆ
