Your partner is not your superhero. That is a controversial and also very popular statement. There is so much pressure to find “The One.” We’ve been taught it from a young age, we’ve seen it in movies, lost sleep over thinking about it. But here’s the thing, you can lose yourself after you find the one because you made them your everything. It’s time to think outside of the programming and explore a relationship style that truly works best. I’m not saying being in an open relationship is the end-all-be-all, but taking the time for exploration into what you really want is so important. Having a sense of independence while sharing a common vision with your partner is really the key to personal and relationship fulfillment. After all, have you ever seen a superhero that isn’t stressed out?

Whether you’re in an open relationship, monogamous, or in a committed relationship with yourself, you’re going to want to listen in.
