Seems like a solid article.

I would have loved to see more said about the effort required to move from having traditional relationships to ENM relationships. Something about the article being a Dos and Don'ts makes me feel it's targeted at newcomers, and having a healthy respect for how big that leap is could be really helpful.

I found a ton of the information in Poly Secure by Jessica Fern to be just what I needed when I read it.

Polywise, her new book, has a LOT more about the struggles of folks opening up their relationships as well as a bunch of really salient points on how poly relationships differ and how to navigate those unique challenges. If you enjoyed polysecure, you should definitely pick up polywise.
