@spicycounselor: Non-monogamy isn’t for everyone, but it’s also easier to dismiss overall when it goes wrong because it isn’t the norm. ‌ You wouldn’t swear off monogamy if one relationship didn’t work, but many people do this when their experience with non- monogamy isn’t good. ‌ If something about non monogamy has intrigued you but you've had a bad experience- start with some of my reflection questions in the video. ‌ Needing more guidance with non-monogamy? We might be a good fit! ___________________________ 💗Reach out if interested in counseling to set up a phone consultation! 💗Link in my bio for more information & my Psychology Today profile ‌ ‌ #polyamory #therapy #counselor #relationships ‌

The maturity needed to really live non-monogamy is rare.

Ive been reading and listening to the CNM literature. It’s not for me, but I could see how in my younger days with less than meaningful relationships, I could have been ok with sharing.

Most monogamous relationships don’t work yet people don’t blame the entire system 😒

Technically, my girlriend and I have a non-monogamous relationship. Factually, we are simply too tired 😂

if we cant manage a dyad healthfully (meaning conflict resolution and healthy repair) we cant manage a triade or more...adding more people only creates more complexity. so until you can master 2...you cant master more than 2

I have many poly friends and acquaintances and am also poly. I have honestly never met anyone off of social media who is not in toxic relationships.

We tried it but went way too fast and got involved with another couple where the male was a narcissist and he ended up manipulating my wife into thinking I was a problem and we almost lost our marriage because of it.

I did all the work and did all the things. My partner didn’t. Turns out I’m just not polyamorous. And also they weren’t a good partner.

Went way too fast, didn’t communicate, and didn’t figure out jealousy. We’re working on it now 😂

Done the work first, Wife has a solid Bf, we communicate constantly and find solutions. dealing with the fight or flight and other big feelings is VERY challenging, and it’s hard as a guy to get dates, even harder if your a bigger guy. OH, and never discuss feelings when tired or in pain.

I think lots of people struggle just trying to manage one relationship well. My husband and I have been married 12 years and about 4 years ago we tried polyamory. He is bi and I am painfully straight. But I think people also have unrealistic expectations going in. Like your looking for a unicorn to fit into your well established family. Then we tried more open but one had more luck then the other and jealousy was a huge issue. So, we took a long break, many years infact and who knows if we will reopen again or not. We will see! 💚

Non manogamy sounds exhausting like on paper it sounds great but in practice yeah pass. I have no issues if it works for other people but damn the constant having to get used to this new person definitely not for me

I absolutely agree it's not for everyone. I'm very happy as part of a Polycule right now BUT I got my rules too that I follow so it stays that way

We were casual until we weren't, and then spent a year talking if through before opening up again, a mutual decision. With therapy. married in 2010, going strong, still polyam.
