“Has our non-monogamous relationship given my boyfriend depression?”
In this edition of GAY TIMES’ polyamory advice column, Leanne Yau explores supporting a partner who is struggling with their mental health.
WORDS LEANNE YAU Welcome to A Polyamorous Perspective, an advice column where I, Leanne Yau – polyamory educator and trainee sex therapist – answer your burning questions on navigating all things non-monogamy.
I’ve been in various forms of open relationships since 2016, and have been publicly sharing tips, personal stories, and resources on how to practise healthy, sustainable polyamory since 2020 on my page, @polyphiliablog. Hi Leanne Hope you’re good!
Me and my boyfriend have been in an open relationship for nine months or so. We’d always maintained that we were monogamish and would be free to kiss and flirt and potentially sleep with other people if the circumstance was right.
