Elle Beau Yes on all of this. There are just so many iterations of love and I think it’s important to acknowledge that. None of it has to be acted upon. Or…it can be, depending on people’s preferences. But yes, I wish we could be more open about that.

And absolutely yes, I have been blessed by those two women who “shared” their partners with me in ways that felt appropriate to all of us. I have been so absolutely lucky in that. (And what great examples they have been to me of strong women!)
