I definitely found more of my voice and myself in polyamory. Monogamy is historically a hierarchical relationship style. Maybe some people don't practice it that way but I certainly thought that I had an egalitarian monogamous marriage, and it was only upon opening up that we both discovered all the ways that we had bought into the hierarchy that we didn't even see because it was so the ocean that we swam in. I also am sure that all of your adventures were a help as well. So fun to see some pictures!
