I’m currently in a non-monogamous relationship with my partner “Flo.” It’s been four years now and so much has happened!
I read a lot about non-monogamy while on this journey, but I’ve found the only thing one can depend on when taking this path is that you will have no idea what it’s like until you try it.
Every relationship is different.
But non-monogamy is really a step out into the jungle, unexplored territory. There are simply not enough examples out there for you to have any clue what to expect.
Plus non-monogamy in general leaves the possibility of so many more combinations of individuals connecting with each other than monogamy does. With each added person in a relationship, the complexity increases exponentially.
What’s special about my journey?
A regular Vipassana meditator, I look at my love life through the lens of Buddhist philosophy and of someone who knows many cultures. I spent several years traveling around the world and working as a digital nomad in places like Argentina, India, and Colombia. I’m from New York but now live in Berlin, and I also come from a multi-racial background: Haitian and Jewish.
What I’m trying to say is, I have a special way of seeing the world. Each one of us does, in fact. The question is: Do you resonate with mine?
P.S. As a coach and speaker, I specialize in helping people tackle some of those legacy emotions from growing up in a monogamous world. Specifically, handling the shame and guilt that can come with wanting to see more than one person at once as well as jealousy.
