Molly Roden Winter has a husband, a boyfriend, and the occasional fling. Her husband has a girlfriend of eight years and also dates other women. They have two children – who both know all about their parents’ love lives.
Molly became the face of polyamory late last year after publishing her New York Times bestselling memoir More: A Memoir of an Open Marriage, which chronicles her move away from monogamy to a world of one-night stands and love affairs with multiple people.
In conversation with journalist Sarah Ditum, Molly explains why she gave up conventional monogamy and what compelled her to go public about her decision – in somewhat graphic detail. She reflects on the bounds of love and marriage, the meaning of sex, and challenges the idea that a healthy marriage precludes you from spending the night with someone else.
