Why I can help you…
You may be wondering what qualifies me to be a friend to nonmonogamous people. Great question! I would love to tell you.
Hi there! I’m Adrienne. I’ve been ethically nonmonogamous for more than a decade. In that time, I’ve counseled dozens of friends through various relationship conundrums, everything from “what does this emoji mean in this dating profile?” to “how do I stop freaking out every time my partner is out on a date with someone else?” I love helping people!
I’ve also done a lot of work on myself, grown immensely as a person, and found a number of helpful tools to manage the challenges of my own relationships, and I want to share those with the world.
Your Poly Friend originally started as a business helping people write better dating profiles and have better dating app conversations. I have been a writer and editor for 15 years, running a small freelance business for half that time. I love finding a perfect turn of phrase or the subtle tweak that will take a sentence from meh to marvelous. I even loved writing all of my various dating profiles over the years! So helping people write or spruce up dating profiles is a big part of what I can offer as your poly friend.
Beyond that, I have seen so many people on ENM forums talking about how hard it is to find local connection, and how frustrating it is to navigate nonmonogamy without supportive folks besides their partners. I hate knowing that struggle exists, and I want to do my part to alleviate it.
