Open Relationships 101

Intro

Hello Wonderful Readers,

Sometimes, it’s the chance encounters that can lead to the most fruitful stories. And that’s exactly what happened when I met Pauline about a month ago.

As you know, our mission at Misseducated is to help the world be shamelessly sexy, and as far as I'm concerned, very few people embody that quite as much as Pauline. I was going to publish another article this week, but I just had to share her story with you all. It’s too good!

Here we discuss her open relationship, her views on sexuality, and her overall attitude towards being a woman and life. And I am telling you, you do not want to miss the second half of this conversation especially.

If you like this show, please consider subscribing, leaving us a review or a rating wherever you get your podcasts to help us reach more people. With that, I bring you Pauline and our discussion, “Open Relationships 101.”

Love,

Tash

Transcript

Tash Doherty: Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Misseducated with me, your host, Tash Doherty. And today we have a very interesting and special conversation with Pauline. She's a girl that I met about a month ago now when we were out. We got talking about the blog, and it came up in conversation that she's in an open relationship, and so I was dying to know all about her experiences.

So that's what we're going to ask her about today. Pauline, welcome to Misseducated!

Pauline: Thank you. Hello, everyone.

Tash Doherty: Welcome. Welcome. So, could you tell us a little bit, as much as you feel comfortable, where you're from? Or how do you identify in terms of your sexuality and roughly how old you are? And also your partner as well?

Pauline: Sure, so my name is Pauline. I'm French, and I am in an open relationship. It's been like, I think it's been four years now. And my partner is also French, and we've been together for four years. I am 28, and he's turning 29 next week. Yeah, and we begin our open relationship. He was the one who brought it up at the beginning. He was like, what do you feel about it? Blah, blah, blah. And I was pretty curious about it. So, in terms of, like, sexuality, I consider myself as pansexual. And my boyfriend is like bi-curious. So yeah, I need to connect with the person, like, I don't care about the sex and the gender.

We've been exploring a lot together. Uh, it hasn't been that easy, but I think it was interesting. It was really interesting. I need to deconstruct a lot of stuff to like being able to actually do it and enjoy it. But I feel like it's worth it.

Tash Doherty: Yeah. That's so awesome. Thank you for sharing that. And so, how did you originally meet your partner?

Pauline: We met on Tinder. I was coming like from a long relationship. And I was like, okay, you know what, I need to get myself out there, blah, blah, blah. But I'm, like, so bad with all the texting and s**t. So, I don't know, I saw him, and I was like, you're cute. So, I sent him a message, and I was like, alright, I'm gonna go straight to the point. Like, do you want to have a drink this Saturday? Because I can't be fucked to like talk to you for like ages. And I don't know what was gonna happen or not. I'm pretty straightforward. If one day I'm ever like, totally single again, this is something I want more in my life because we don't really tell women to go get it kind of. We’re kind of like wait until someone comes.

This is something that I don't want; if I just want it, then I need to be not afraid of a no. So that's what I've done. And he was like, yeah, sure. So, we went for a drink and then it was a magical and really fun night. And since then, we've been together, and we moved to Mexico City together.
