What It’s Like to Try an Open Marriage After 10 Years of Monogamy
Especially in the beginning, as you navigate new territories and insecurities, over-communication is the way to go, according to Kate Manser, a licensed professional therapist and the founder of Polyamory Therapy. “When it comes to established couples practicing polyamory, they will need to over-communicate their own emotions, wants, and needs to partners,” says Manser. “Even if you have been together for 15 years and feel as though your partner can read your mind, you will need to verbalize your emotions and requests to your sweetie. The very nature of your relationship is now changing and many things that have been implicit now need to be made explicit so you both understand each other to the best of your abilities.” https://www.allure.com/story/open-marriage-stories-after-monogamy
