Nonmonogamy Check-In
Regular check-in for open, poly, and non-monogamous couples
For couples in an open, poly, or otherwise non-monogamous structure. A regular check-in that surfaces agreements needing update, jealousy that's ambient, and what's working.
Our current structure / agreements — as we practice them
Agreements to update
Jealousy or scarcity I've felt (name it — not accuse)
What's been especially good about this structure
Safer-sex + communication
- STI testing current for everyone
- Barrier / fluid-bonding agreements clear
- Everyone knows they are dating a non-monogamous person
- New partner disclosure timing agreed
Rules can change — agreements have to
Non-monogamy fails when agreements silently go stale. Scheduled check-ins keep them a living document.
