Summary

These days there's no on right way to have a relationship, so why would having a family be any different? We're chatting with David, Zeke, and Avary about the rise of the 3-parent family and their arrangement as co-parents with Avary & Zeke being a married couple and David being their asexual platonic friend. We discuss why they opted to do things differently as a non-nuclear family (and how far they went to make it all legally binding), the importance of chosen family especially when traditional arrangements aren't on the table or don't feel right to you, and how to be intentional about your relationships at all stages.

0:00.0	The dateable podcast is an insider's look into modern dating that the
0:04.8	Huffington Post calls one of the top 10 podcasts about love and sex. On each
0:09.5	episode we'll talk to real daters about everything from sex parties to sex droughts, date fails to diaper
0:15.3	fetishes, and first moves to first loves.
0:17.8	I'm your host, U.S.U.
0:19.4	Former dating coach turned dating sociologist.

0:28.1	Datables, welcome to a spanking new episode of the
0:35.7	Datable Podcast. If you didn't know what we talk about just by the name itself,

1:28.0	It has been a journey. I feel like the other day I was rel-listing to one of our older episodes and I was just like damn we've come a long
1:37.2	way. When you listen to our earlier seasons it's almost like when you go through your childhood photos, you know, you're like, oh, I can't believe I wore that.
1:46.0	That is how I feel when I listen to them.
