Exploring Non-Monogamy

Opening up discussions about non-monogamy requires sensitivity and clear communication between partners. A suggested approach is to use external resources, such as podcasts or articles, to initiate these conversations without placing the whole burden of the topic on one person. Practicing relational check-ins can facilitate ongoing dialogue about feelings and relationship dynamics, making it easier to address questions about preferences and boundaries. Utilizing tools like questionnaires or apps designed for discussing non-monogamy can help couples explore their interests and desires together.
