Olivia Petter writing in the Independent says that polyamoury is "everywhere" at the moment. "From splashy headlines and viral TikTok clips to teen dramas and dating app profiles, ethical non-monogamy, as it’s sometimes termed, is very much the subject du jour. A lot of the recent interest is thanks to one woman, Molly Roden Winter, whose debut book, More: A Memoir of Open Marriage, details how the 51-year-old married mother of two decided to reinvent her sexual self through polyamory." writes Petter before going on to interview several people in polyamorous relationships. “Polyamory and other forms of non-monogamy require excellent interpersonal skills, and a willingness to sit with uncomfortable emotions,” explains Annie Undone, non-monogamous peer supporter and writer. “There will be times when someone is jealous, or upset (just like in monogamous relationships) and it’s essential to learn, as I say, that ‘big feelings are OK, bad behaviour is not’. You’ll need self-soothing and coping skills.”
