The Good in Being Open About our Non-monogamy: Part 3— Validation
I now have a voice and can impact people for good
There are a lot of people either cheating on their spouses or embracing a healthier expression of their desires by trying nonmonogamy in one way or another. A lot more than you may think.
Those who are being responsible in it consistently say they’re listening to podcasts and/or reading books or blogs by people who are not only in open or polyamorous relationships but are also living this way openly.
When we stay quiet, when we stay in secrecy, when we hide who we are and how we’re living there are fewer podcasts, books, or blogs from which to glean encouragement and wisdom. People who are being brave enough to explore who they are and who are trying to live unconventionally have fewer resources and can experience a greater sense of isolation.
I have a voice now. And it’s not just to give you something salacious to read (though, I do so enjoy living and sharing my sexy with you all), but I can join the others who have braved their coming-out shit storms and add my voice to what’s here for others to find when they’re looking for help.
I can boldly encourage you through sharing my experience and insights because I’m not living in secrecy. I’m not scared…
