What do you do when your partner wants consensual non-monogamy (CNM) and you don’t? Or what if you are deeply in love with your partner and want to stay together – and you also want to be with other people?

The explosion of interest in polyamory, swinging, open relationships, and other forms of consensual or ethical nonmonogamy over the last 15 years has created a wave of people facing the CNM/mono mismatch where one partner wants monogamy and the other wants CNM.

Some couples have been together for years and one has been suppressing the desire for multiple partners, and other relationships have formed more recently and are trying to decide how/if they should move forward. Either way, people who are navigating the CNM/mono mismatch often face similar issues, share common experiences, and benefit from each other’s advice and companionship.

Each week will center on a specific topic in the journey to a CNM/mono relationship, with education from Dr. Eli followed by discussion.

This group is for anyone with relationship issues related to a mismatch in the desire for CNM and their partners. We offer judgement-free support for wherever people fall in the wide spectrum of singular/plural relating. We’re inclusive of all stages of gender exploration, sexual orientations, and neurotypes, and meets virtually every week for 6 weeks. Sliding scale is available; please contact us to discuss it.

She is the author of four books, 30+ peer-reviewed publications, and 130+ blogs on Psychology Today, with 10+ years’ experience coaching people facing challenges with CNM and BDSM. Dr. Eli specializes in the mono/CNM mismatch because she intellectualized her fear, and has been the mono partner in two CNM/mono marriages. Her super-power is combining research findings and trends gleaned from her coaching practice with personal insights to understand if, when, and how mono/CNM relationships can work or not.
