Hi! Welcome to Polysingleish! Thank you so much for taking interest in my blog. My name is Mel. I’m a queer woman in my 30s and I live in British Columbia, Canada.
For a while, I struggled to describe my attitude and approach to polyamory. I didn’t mesh with the couple centric, polynormative majority that I kept encountering again and again. I decided to find my own approach to ethical non-monogamy. At last, I had the eureka moment I had been yearning, and this blog was born.
This blog was created to chronicle my adventures in an ethical, non-monogamous, and anarchic love-style. Please check out the other sections of the blog, and the links on the side.
Ultimately, this blog is about expanding the definition of who I might be. And maybe expanding the definition of who you might be too.
Please feel free to share this blog and any articles with your poly or poly curious friends. I welcome comments, debates, and your own experiences.
You can also follow the blog on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/polysingleish or request to join the facebook group Solo Polyamory which I co-founded and co-moderate. You might also enjoy this article from Psychology Today on the nature of Solo and Singleish Polyamory.

I would prefer spelling it “singlish”. Like “English”. English spelling is a crazy affair to begin with. No need to introduce another word with a dual vowel.
Thanks for the feedback Matthew. I played around with the spelling a bit. With a passion for music and vocals, I can’t help but read that as sing-lish, like, I like singing a lot? So I chose to keep that pesky extra vowel for better clarity and visual recognition of the word ‘single’. Hope you are enjoying the rest of the blog!
Hrm, now I feel like singing! Laaaa!
Singlish is already a word for a language which exists. I think because of this, she should keep the “e”.
I just read your blog and I just wanted to say I really enjoyed it. I look forward to reading your future posts:)

Hi! Glad to know there are others out there blogging about this. I might link to my OKCupid profile. I describe myself as “Mostly Single”. 🙂
