What It's Really Like Coming Out As Polyamorous

How do you reveal to your family and friends that you're polyamorous?

In a September 9th HuffPost Live segment, host Alex Berg spoke with people who have been in polyamorous relationships as well as a relationship therapist about the process of "coming out" as polyamorous.

"It's very gradual," Josh Rollins, who is in a polyamorous relationship, said. "You come out to different people -- family members, friends. And for me that's where it stops, because I can't really come out at my workplace. I'm a teacher, I'm in education, and there's a lot of stigma there, so I can't talk about anything like that."

"A lot of my friends were not surprised," said Rebecca Hiles, who is in a committed polyamorous relationship with a husband of four years and a partner of 10 years. "They were really just ... waiting for me to mention it."
