This episode of Imperfectly Poly tackles the common and often challenging experience of a partner starting a new relationship, specifically addressing the phenomenon of New Relationship Energy (NRE).
We explore the wide range of emotions that can arise, from jealousy and insecurity to occasional excitement and curiosity, validating that all these feelings are normal. Chris shares a personal anecdote about navigating NRE in his own relationships.
The episode then provides practical strategies for handling NRE, both pre-emptively and during the phase itself.

Ultimately, we frame navigating NRE as a powerful opportunity for personal growth, fostering deeper communication, building resilience, and strengthening existing bonds within the polycule.
