The ethos behind Sara’s relationships is becoming more common, and less stigmatized. He has since moved in with them, and “both of my husbands are also in relationships with my girlfriend."

After that, she met her girlfriend of five years, who introduced her to another partner, a man “married to me in everything except name.” The couple, who lives in Durham, went online, “did a bunch of research and…we decided that it sounded like a good fit for us.” They opened their relationship. “He said that it sounded neat,” she said. That night, the 32-year-old went home and told her husband about the revelation. “I’d always had crushes on so many people and had thought that when I finally found someone that that would go away, and it never had.” “She explained the basics of what polyamory was and I was just completely overwhelmed,” Sara told me. “So I asked her about it,” she remembered. She knew her friend’s husband was sitting across the room from her. Sara was at a salsa dance event in Durham, North Carolina, when she saw her married friend talking intimately with a man she didn’t recognize.
