By Amy Gahran

Love is not one-size-fits-all, yet people often assume that healthy, serious relationships all must follow the same basic path. The "Relationship Escalator" is society's bundle of customs for intimate relationships: monogamy, living together, marriage and more, ideally until death do you part. Beyond this, it might not be obvious what your options are.

This book will help you:

Discover less common relationship options that might suit you
Understand why and how people have unconventional relationships
Empower you to negotiate about how your relationships work
Overcome the fear that loving differently means you're doing it wrong
Make the world a friendlier, safer place for more paths to love

Featuring real stories and insights from hundreds of people, Stepping Off the Relationship Escalator explores consensual non-monogamy, love without living together, deep connections that pause and resume, and much more. The first in a series of research-based books, this introduction to relationship diversity is both accessible and surprising.
