Opening up a long-term monogamous relationship is super hard, especially if the two people involved have different ideas of how quickly they wanna be doing it. I think being considerate of the person who wants to move slower is a good idea, but both parties need to agree on a timeline that both of them actually feel good about, rather than letting the person who wants to move slower decide the pace entirely. Otherwise, unfortunately, you may end up in a situation where you actually never open up at all. As a certified sex and relationships educator and sex therapist in training, I provide peer support to individuals and couples who are looking to open up their relationship for the first time. If you’re struggling or in conflict and need someone to help facilitate a productive conversation between you, let’s talk. (Also, sorry about the mic plosives!) Need support, advice or resources for your non-monogamous journey? Book a peer support session with me for personal guidance, or join my Patr3on for hundreds of exclusive videos to improve your communication skills, boundary-setting, conflict resolution, and emotional awareness in non-monogamy.
