Lessons Learned and Encouraging Openness in Non-Monogamous Relationships

In this episode I talk about the 12 lessons I have learned in my Polycurious journey.

1. Be Patient. Go as fast as the slowest person
2. Find the right time to talk
3. Check with your partner before making plans with other people
4. Feeling guilt at first is normal
5. Don’t sugarcoat. Be honest with your partner
6. Determine how much you want to share with your partner
7. Meeting your partner’s partners (metamours) helps with jealousy 
8. Jealousy and insecurities are likely to decrease with time
9. You can’t control your feelings for other people
10. Infatuation and New Relationship Energy can be fleeting
11. Be careful where you invest your energy
12. Non-sexual intimacy can be powerful
