    How come, at the end of so many of these videos, when Conor and Brittany are just looking at each other, appreciating what they just created ( and are creating) together, I start to cry?

    This year I have found and created an intimate connection with another being that is based on the principles of freedom and expansion. I always desired such a connection but I didn't know how to articulate it, didn't have the language to speak it and didn't even think it was possible. Your content was instrumental in helping me to get on the path, go within and start to explore and understand for myself what I wanted to create. I'm still figuring it out within the connection and within myself, but I love it because the journey has become the destination. It's no longer about getting somewhere specific, but rather, being open and fully present to my ever evolving nature and creating loving space for my partner's as well. This way of living has brought in more satisfaction, fulfillment and love than I expected. It is also quite triggering at times because like Conor said "giving" freedom to another can sometimes feel like your safety within the relationship is being threatened. But, the opportunity to have the space for you and your partner(s) to fully be yourselves is an incredible experience.

    I think it’s much more easier to start off a relationship as purely a non monogamy one rather than be with someone 3,4, 5 + years and than transition to a poly relationship. For me I could see that causing a lot of jealousy issues. By starting off poly from the start like you two did is a great approach to loving other beings on a deeper level and I love that!!! It’s so beautiful!! Great video ❤️

      I think you both have to totally on board too. If it’s mainly one person wanting to open up the relationship, it’s going to be difficult for that other person to not feel jealous when what they want is just you for themselves

  • @kathleenrowland8666

    This video was so timely. My husband and I, after 25 years of monogamy, have decided to open our relationship. We're still in the phase of trying to figure out how to move forward together in this new adventure and if we want to set any boundaries initially or if we want to just see what feels right as we move forward on this new path. What we are sure of, though, is that we are still dedicated to our life together as partners and friends. I would love to see more videos where you maybe offer suggestions for moving from monogamy to poly relationships regarding boundaries vs free flow. Pros and cons of each that we, as monogamous partners, might not think of.
    As always, I love your way of creating healthy relationships and compassionate communication and your willingness to share them with us. 💜

    • @kathleenrowland8666
      @kathleenrowland8666 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@NamasteCC I am. We both are. I think we're scared about the unknowable ways this will change our relationship and if we are strong enough individually and as a couple to work through them as they come up. But, we also recognize that, for us, that no matter how much we love each other, it's simply impossible for us to meet every need our partner has, and it is unfair to continue to expect us to, then get upset, angry, or frustrated when we fall short. So far, that has been the toughest realization in this process, that no matter how hard we have tried, it's just unfair to keep asking each other to meet needs we're incapable of meeting. So, we recognize that to preserve our relationship and continue in a more loving and fulfilling partnership, we have to grow as individuals, separately and together.
      This isn't something we just decided to do. We've been discussing it and doing some work together and separately for a couple of years to prepare for things we're sure will come up, like jealousy and how to honestly and compassionately communicate our needs and wants, and have finally agreed to move forward. So, even though we're still scared, we're also excited for each other to explore all the ways we can be more of ourselves.

      I really hope it has worked out for you guys, my wife and I have been monogamous for 10 years and have decided to expand relationship. We were high school sweet hearts and are both deeply in love. While we each have fears and worries we agree that we have the strength and courage to work through the hard times. Even though we have only been discussing it for a couple of weeks we have felt a dramatic shift in our communication for the better.

    I get the fear aspect of it I think we all feel that when we might or that we might lose a partner. but my big hot button is loyalty and I don't understand in a poly relationship how a person can be 100% loyal to more than one person.

      @violettiplady3113 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I used to think like this, And you can still be 100% loyal to your partner and them you. its about the honesty and trust that makes it loyal.
      So for example you have a best friend who is the one person you share soo many of your secrets with and most comfortable around but then you still have plenty of other friends in your life. this doesnt mean now that you have other friends your best friend is any less. so it goes the same for relationships. I think for me personally having a poly relationship with have 1 main relationship and then the others being off sets is best. because your able to openly be yourself with so many people but ultimately you have that 1 person still who you go to at the end of the day.

    This is something my partner had investigated during his last relationship. When we got together we discussed this (and many other things) and one of the biggest obstacles, in his opinion, is time management (full disclosure, he's not good at time management overall haha). As it stands there already is never enough time in the day with children, pets, jobs, etc

    wow wow wow I've had to rewatch this video over again to fully digest it. Fuck yes! all of this really resonates with me especially being all of me in my relationships. I have only gotten in a non monogamous style relationship within this last yr and my current partner has never been in one or considered it until he had met me. Couldn't of made this video in a more perfect time. I'm feeling really align with all of this. Much love you beautiful beings.

  • @sonia9106
    @sonia9106 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    It was beautiful and sensual but what I've missing is a little bit practice side. Talking and opening up yourself it's always worthy and powerful (as you say) but still it leaves the missing gap between "my desires " and "your desires" or "our desires" or "our life goles"
    I mean it's everything brilliant when you are on the same page, but what if not?
    Hipotetic situation: having new-born baby your partner tells you "oh look, I feel like my energy is out of this home, I feel exhausted, and lack of vital energy and I need to charge my baterries outside of you, baby, home, all these duties"
    And looking at it separately- it's ok, this is personal energy, personal desire and we shouldn't question it. (And it's always should be over the mutual desire, right?)
    But then, you'll stay alone for some weeks/months with all these duties according to baby and how you feel it?
    This situation can be applied not only while it's going about the baby moments, as well other one in life.
    It's about sacrifice "me" for the purpose of "us" ...and that what is not clear for me how it goes in Polyamorous relationship. How to handle this "sacrifice" which in many life situations is simply necessary to manage "daily life". Thanks for response in advance. I really like this channel, it's so interesting topic for me:)

      I understand this question in its essence and hope they speak about this. I think if someone needs space and time for a week or so that has nothing to do with the other partner and their love for them-- cool- but for me anyway, part of being supported by my partner and vice-versa is hearing that but also knowing I can "depend" on them, given they/we chose to be a family-to be there for me and out family- just using your example. Once you become a "unit" as well as being individuals , I think you need to work these things out as they come up.

    I am a little bit heartbroken after your video. This all is from a point of a person who wants to open a relationship but not from a point of their partner. "If you are honest you will be amazed how well it is received" - that made me feel a lot of shame. I didn't receive it we'll and I am struggling a lot. I understand everything. I've been your subscriber for many many years. But my emotions are to strong...

    My question is how do you feel safe when it comes to sex and multiple people? Example Conor sleeps with Brittany today, tomorrow Conor sleeps with Tiffany then comes home and sleeps with Brittany & Bridgette. I personally feel that is a lot of personal fluids going around mixing up and seems a bit uncleanly. What is yalls take on that? Or how do you handle situations as such? Currently in a mono relationship but not opposed to polyamory.

    I recently left a 7 year relationship. My partner wanted to switch from being in a monogamous relationship to being in an open relationship, and he wanted to have unprotected sex with strangers while also doing hard drugs. He refused to communicate about serious topics and also didn't want to put in the effort to do so. He simply wanted to do whatever he wanted to do, and I needed to be ok with it. All of this was after he had cheated on me multiple times while we were supposed to be monogamous. During the 1 year we were open, I had gotten 2 STDs. After a very emotionally tumultuous year, I decided to leave.
    I watched ALL of your videos throughout the process, and by others too. I really tried to educate myself and make it work, but it simply wasn't going to work with him. I'm still open to the idea of being in a polyamorous relationship, if I could find the right people. I love your vibes. It's been 6 months since I've been on my own, and although I'm still healing I'm excited for the future.
