Welcome to the first video of my series, A Couples Guide to Opening Up! In this video, I’m diving into what can often be the hardest part of exploring non-monogamy: the initial conversation with your partner.
I share my own experience from when my now-husband first brought up the idea of an open relationship many, many years ago, along with practical advice for approaching this conversation with your partner. We’ll cover key points such as:
Knowing your “why” before starting the conversation
How to avoid ultimatums and approach the topic with care
Honoring each other’s emotions and listening without judgment
“Time boxing” the conversation for better communication
Viewing this as an adventure you’re taking together!
If you're ready to open up this dialogue, this video is here to help you get started. Every relationship is unique, and these tips are designed to help you and your partner discover what works best for you.
