What is relationship anarchy?

from Do you really know? Hosted by Bababam

"Love is abundant, and every relationship is unique." That might not seem like the most controversial of statements, but it’s actually the first point of The short instructional manifesto for relationship anarchy, originally written in Swedish by blogger Andie Nordgren back in 2006. Just as political anarchy sees all rules and authority thrown out of the window, relationship anarchy rewrites the book on how a romantic partnership should work. In fact the only rules and expectations are those that partners come up with themselves and agree to. The philosophy is also known as RA for short, and it shuns traditional models of monogamy and hierarchy, instead promoting autonomy and community. Is it complete chaos like with political anarchy then? Is it the same thing as polyamory? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
