Ep 14: Open Relationships


Listen Later

A different approach to relationships. Because, why are we all trying to fit into one box?⠀
This week on @therelationshipsshow, we discuss monogamy and open relationships. We have been in this kind of relationship from the very start. Why? Because we believe that monogamy isn't for everyone. Yes, it is the "norm", but what if you don't fit into that way of being? ⠀
Most of us don't challenge the status quo, yet might struggle to fit into the monogamy way of being. But, because it is not really spoken about or accepted in mainstream society, we try to do it the way we have been taught. The acceptable way. The way everyone else has relationships. Maybe it's not for everyone the way that we have been taught and modelled over the years!⠀
We get this can be triggering to some people and it's not for everyone, but we think it's something well worth talking about. There is a reason we don't argue. There is a reason we are able to have uncomfortable conversations. There is a reason that both of us are completely happy and confident in our relationship. ⠀
We discuss some of the common misconceptions of open relationships and what it means to us, how much being monogamous has actually strengthened our bond and deepened our love. And some of the challenges we have been faced with by taking this path, and as a positive consequence, the growth we have seen by doing so.⠀
We have been a little reluctant to discuss this fully and openly, but it's something we 100% believe in and we wanted to be able to share our experiences with you all and perhaps inspire you to see love and relationships in a different light!
