EPISODE 83
“All of the difficult emotions that can come up when we’re doing non monogamy—all the jealousies and securities—we need to know how to deal with that because in monogamy, you have to shut it down so you don’t have to deal with it. But here, you can’t just shut it down, so you have to learn how to deal with it.”
