Opening a relationship doesn't always unfold equally, and that imbalance can put enormous pressure on both partners.One of you is thriving, meeting people, exploring. The other is waiting, wondering, and doesn't yet know if they even want this—because they haven't really had the chance to find out. It's one of the most common and least talked-about growing pains in ENM and polyamorous transitions.In Episode 6 of The Ask Jess & Dave Show, we tackle a real listener question about exactly this dynamic: How does the partner with more opportunities keep exploring without collapsing into guilt, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for fixing the imbalance? And how does the partner with fewer opportunities figure out whether ENM is actually right for them when they haven't yet had enough experience to really know?Drawing on insights from our book Polywise, this one is essential watching for anyone navigating the uneven terrain of opening up.Got a question about love, relationships, or inner healing & transformation?
