Episode notes
Repair Or Renegotiate After Open-Relationship Violations
- If a partner violates negotiated rules in an open relationship, address the breach directly, demand accountability, and renegotiate terms before moving forward.
- Consider retroactive permission and honest sex (including sharing details) to rebuild trust or close the door if patterns continue.
What ‘Free Use’ Really Means
- Free use is not mere initiation rights; it is a power-exchange where the sub defaults to consenting and can't routinely refuse.
- That negotiated default-to-yes makes free use fundamentally different from typical ongoing sexual relationships.
Act On Sexual Incompatibility Sooner
- Accept sexual incompatibility candidly and decide whether to adapt, de-emphasize sex, or end the relationship before resentment builds.
- If neither partner can initiate, choose who will change or end the relationship to avoid long-term unhappiness.
