This is the Imperfectly Poly Podcast where I'm talking about being a polyamorous man going through life and trying to navigate the ups, downs and circles that come my way. This will just be my thoughts and perspectives on different aspects of life and this is not intended as a guide for how you should do poly or life in general. Instead this documents my thoughts and experiences in an attempt to normalize a lifestyle choice that is more common each day.
