Deep dives
Meeting at Church and Early Interactions
We met at church where we were both musicians. Despite being married to other people, we were attracted to each other. We started getting to know each other through coffee dates and discovered common interests like being English majors and enjoying running. We didn't initially have romantic feelings for each other, but a conversation about feeling incompatible with our spouses sparked a realization that we were both unhappy and seeking more in our lives.
Daring Adventures in Non-Monogamy
After leaving our marriages, we embarked on a journey of sexual exploration within the non-monogamous lifestyle. We started with threesomes involving Kate's best friend, Melissa, and later included Kate's ex-boyfriend, Derek. Initially, there were some challenges and insecurities, but as we continued exploring, the experiences became more fulfilling and enjoyable.
The Decision to Start a Podcast
The idea to start a podcast came from wanting to reach a broader audience who prefer audio content. We realized that there are people who may never come across our written blog and would benefit from hearing our experiences and insights through a different medium. Additionally, the podcast allows us to share stories and topics that wouldn't necessarily fit the format of our blog.
The Future of the Monogamish Marriage
We plan to continue our blog and complement it with the podcast. Each medium offers unique advantages and allows us to connect with different audiences. While the blog focuses on storytelling and insights, the podcast allows for more personal and conversational discussions. We anticipate the podcast will bring its own set of challenges and growth opportunities and we look forward to seeing where this new venture takes us.
