Nichole shares a "Crazy, Sexy, Poly" story about preemptive crying. A friend/Stubert of Laurel writes in to "Ask the Amateurs" about finding their Chesty Nesty Bestie. Daniel bitches about monogamous Canadian A.I. on "Is this Poly." Plus: Double "Normie Corner" mini-segments for the noobs!

The Amateurs are on a mission to find the kind of Order Muppet that can make Nichole look like a Chaos Muppet. Is it you?
Crazy, Sexy, Poly
Nichole kicks us off with a tearful "Crazy, Sexy, Poly" that reminds us all what happens when you take away your partner's autonomy by making up and then believing your own narrative about their thoughts and affections. Oops!
Normie Corner
We've got a little "Normie Corner" explaining exactly (or not so exactly) what we mean when we say "polycule". There's some bonus musing on how and when we each use "partner", "boyfriend", and "girlfriend" differently to speak about our loved ones,
Ask the Amateurs
This week Stubert asks:
"What advice do you have for someone who is actively polyamorous with a pretty full life?
I have partners, friends, hobbies, a child, work and schooling. I am also currently partnered with multiple people, but yearning for a type of relationship that isn't an option with existing romances.I love the relationships I have, but I also want a nesting partner.”
Is This Poly?!
