To Three or Not to Three

• Gebundenes Buch

Most books on polyamory focus on people already in a multi-person relationship. This book's unique contribution is to consider the social and psychological processes involved in how someone makes the decision to transition from a monogamous to a consensually nonmonogamous relationship.
