Parallel Polyamory

What is parallel polyamory? Keeping relationships separate, explained.

Parallel polyamory is the opposite approach to kitchen table — each relationship stays mostly separate, with little or no contact between metamours. It's not colder or less valid, just a different comfort level with overlap. Some people mix both styles depending on the specific relationship.
