The Debate on Plus Ones in Polyamorous Relationships

The podcast explores the social dynamics surrounding plus one invitations, particularly in the context of polyamorous relationships. It challenges the notion that providing a plus one is inherently polyphobic, positing that such invitations primarily serve to ensure attendees have a familiar face at social events, such as weddings. The speaker reflects on personal experiences in poly relationships, emphasizing that often only one partner in a triad or more complex arrangement is likely to attend, highlighting the social realities faced by non-monogamous individuals. This insight encourages a broader understanding of relationship structures and the nuances of social invitations in a predominantly couple-oriented society.
