The Mindful Men Podcast 136. Non-Monogamy Relationships with Paige Bond
Welcome to Episode 136 – Non-Monogamy Relationships with Paige Bond
When we think of relationships, our societal default is that its two people who are mutually exclusive. So what happens if our partner – or even ourselves – want more than mutual exclusivity? Enter the world of non-monogamous relationships.
This week I’m sitting down with relational psychotherapist and non-monogamy coach Paige Bond. Paige is an expert in non-monogamous relationships, and helps us to understand the challenges couples face in non-monogamous relationships. We dive into some BIG topics like jealousy, conflict resolution, improving communication and finding the right coach or therapist. It’s another great episode, helping us to get mindful about relationships.
In this episode, Paige shares:
- The difference between monogamy and non-monogamy
- Key issues in non-monogamous relationships
- Agreements and boundaries
- Jealousy and emotions
- Conflict and how improving communication can
- How to navigate a partner's resistance to open relationships
- Pornography and insecurities
- Finding the right relationship coach or therapist
- The Stubborn Love Podcast
Key Quotes:
“I like to view Monogamy versus non monogamy on a spectrum”
“I like to use the phrase consensual non monogamy at times, just to really iterate that this is something that you are consenting to.”
“Jealousy happens to every single person, no matter what relationship structure you're in.”
