"What if she's prettier than me?", "What if my wife falls in love with the man she's dating?"

Questions from the world of 'polyamory' - the practice where a couple encourages each other to form romantic attachments with other people.

Documentary-maker, Mary-Elaine Tynan speaks to Irish polyamorists. She also meets a couple thinking about it...

She hears from polyamorists why they believe seeking out other attachments can actually strengthen their primary relationship.

She's also told about the risks and the jealousies.

And Mary-Elaine speaks with non-poly people, determined monogamists who'd never consider a third or fourth person in their relationship, in their wildest dreams

Produced by Mary-Elaine Tynan and Ronan Kelly
