Their journey liberates them from the constraints of their unhappy marriage and propels them into a world where they embrace a new way of loving. But this liberation comes with a price. They are challenged in ways they didnt expect, and the experiment takes them to a place they didnt anticipate. They must learn to accept a new understanding of relationships, each other and themselves.

The Husband Swap

Eve Rickert

Opening your relationship can burn more painfully than anything you would ever expect. Love and limitless possibilities might sound great on paper, but what happens when your dream castles are consumed by fire? Do you go back to monogamy, or can you rise again out of the ashes? Louisa Leontiades shares the lessons she took away from her first experience in an open relationship, a polyamorous quad whose history she chronicles in her memoir, The Husband Swap. Lessons in Love & Life to My Younger Self is the companion guide to the memoir. If you could travel back in time to give yourself advice, what would you say? What does opening your relationship teach you about the nature of life, love and yourself? Could they have avoided the heartache? Did the experience bring limitless love and possibilities, or was it all just one huge mistake?

Lessons in Love and Life to My Younger Self

Noël Lynne Figart

Louisa and Gilles love each other. There's a problem in paradise, though: their marriage is going nowhere. Together, they decide to explore polyamory, the idea that it's possible to have more than one lover--and more than one love. They fall in love with another couple and, embarking on a life-changing course, try to make it work as a quad. Their journey liberates them from the constraints of their unhappy marriage and propels them into a world where they embrace a new way of loving. But this liberation comes with a price. They are challenged in ways they didn't expect, and the experiment takes them to a place they didn't anticipate. They must learn to accept a new understanding of relationships, each other and themselves.With raw and intimate prose, Louisa Leontiades unflinchingly shares her story, with all its drama, passion, joy and conflict as she and her husband stumble, make mistakes, and look for a path to a sustainable polyamorous future. This is not a how-to manual or a guide to polyamory. It is the true story of four ordinary people who challenged monogamy to pursue a utopia of limitless love.
