4:35 Topic: Getting over your Dom
How do you get over your Dom after an intense relationship and a rough breakup? Some advice:
- This just sucks, kinky or not. Allow yourself to grieve the loss.
- You’ll get through this. And you’ll be better for it.
- Seek out a poly/kinky support network for this and other issues. Being isolated makes a breakup even harder.
- Find a poly/kinky-friendly therapist in your area to have someone professional to talk to. I did this, and it helped make the year after a difficult breakup much better.

4:00 Topic: Dating in a doomed relationship
A listener writes in to ask how to deal with dating someone whose marriage is falling apart. Should she distance herself? How does she deal with the soon-to-be-ex wife? PW listeners give advice, including:
- Stop dating him and be supportive friend to both
- If the relationship is already long-term, don’t leave, but offer to be a sounding board (we disagree that you should offer to be a sounding board but agree that not taking sides or speaking ill of anyone is key)
- Be prepared to fail
- Set limits by saying hurtful behavior and words won’t be tolerated
- Be aware that how he acts during this breakup is very telling in how he will eventually treat YOU

1:40 App review: Violet Blue’s Total Flirt
Review of Violet Blue’s fun new wingman iPhone app, Total Flirt.
2:50 Book review: Open All the Way
 Open All the Way by Sexy Sadie Kurt provides his review of Sadie Smythe’s book, Open All the Way, on her and her husband’s experiences with opening up the marriage, both in theory and in practice. They deal with jealousy, breakups and NRE and share the value and benefits of multiple loves. Kurt also shares their musings on the pervasive power of monogamy.
7:15 Topic: “Okay” is a four-letter word
And our topic today is a rebroadcast from July 2008 and relevant for everyone whether you’re poly, monogamous, curious or confused. Get ready for a vintage rants!
- “OK” “fine” are both evil because it doesn’t provide information; instead it begs many questions.
- If you are asking a new person out and you have a current partner, you will need to expect them to meet.
- How tough it is for secondaries ending up mixing it up with somebody or both people from a couple and the challenges that go with that
- Your new relationships need some TLC as well.
- Some advice for the metamour. Don’t use the word “OK.” Say something like “I really enjoy watching Steve doing X” as one example. In conclusion, don’t use “OK”!
19:00 Feedback

Topic: Dealing with metamours in a changing relationship
Listener calls in to ask for advice with a situation in which she begins dating Sean when he and Jill were broken up. When Sean and Jill reconcile, Jill doesn’t wish to have a child while unmarried, so they marry with caller’s blessing, who hopes Jill will then be happy and secure. However, Jill continues to be even more hostile towards the caller. What to do?
Hosts bring up the issues of assumptions: what does marriage mean to you? Where do you see each person’s place in the new relationship?
