Getting into a relationship doesn’t mean you stop growing. Sometimes people grow together, and sometimes they grow in different directions.
And that doesn’t mean that you or your partner failed. No one has to be the villain at all. Two people can deeply love each other and still realize that the relationship structure is making one person happy and the other person miserable.
And a healthy relationship can’t be measured by how much suffering both people are willing to endure to stay together.
In the latest episode of @DoAsWeSayPod, @DrLizPowell and @DrNerdLove are joined by Kristen from @TheNonMonogamyCardGame to talk about polyamory, compatibility, emotional processing, and what happens when partners realize they want fundamentally different things from a relationship.
We break down two different poly relationships where partners aren’t entirely aligned on what they want, and how the relationship works to help you find what healthy relationships actually require (hint: a lot of communication) and why relationships don’t need a catastrophic ending for it to be okay to let each other go.
