Should We Try an Open Relationship? | Relationship 911
In today's Episode we answer one of our viewer's questions:
"My new girlfriend and I have been together for a few months. She's already talking marriage and kids and I want more time to focus on my career before settling down. We have reached an impasse. She asked if I would be interested in an open relationship. I said yes and now she's sad. What do I do?"
In this Episode, Relationship Experts Jan and Monika advise their viewer Freddy on his relationship issue.
Key Takeaways:
[0:30] Timeline is such a personal thing. I would never want to be influenced by someone else's timeline. They are allowed to have their own views but they shouldn't push their agenda on you.
[2:00] Relationships are all about choice. If you aren't choosing powerfully and just trying to please your partner then it could lead to resentment down the road.
[3:15] Figure out if your hearts and desires are in alignment. Have a conversation and try to find a middle ground--or decide to end the relationship for now. If it's meant to be, it will be.
