Nope! We're Not Monogamous Love Beyond Boundaries: Jeff Hudson on Throuples, Jealousy & Non-Monogamy
What happens when a long-term couple invites a third person into their relationship—and it doesn’t go as planned?
In this raw and revealing episode, I sit down with six-time Emmy-nominated TV producer Jeff Hudson to talk about his memoir Deconstructing Us: My Trouble with a Throuple. Jeff shares what it was like to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of a throuple, how jealousy blindsided him, and why non-monogamy cracked him wide open—in the best and worst ways.
We explore:
- Why three-person relationships are emotional rocket fuel
- How jealousy shows up even when you're experienced in open relationships
- The difference between love and compatibility
- Identity shifts that come with loving outside the box
- Why breakdowns in love can lead to breakthroughs in self-awareness
Whether you're polyam-curious, actively non-monogamous, or just fascinated by the complexity of modern love—this conversation will challenge and expand how you think about commitment, identity, and connection.
