Elizabeth is currently in a relationship that can best be described as “emotional non-monogamy.” She and her partner have agreed not to be physically intimate with anyone else. Yet, they are staying open to the possibility that their relationship may not last and that others may be better suited to be their long-term partners.
Sheila and Elizabeth dig into the ups and downs of open relationships. Elizabeth shares how she’s tackling her jealousy and her tendency to compare herself to other women, as well as the unexpected benefits and life lessons that have arisen from her “situationship.” Sheila shares her Imperfectly Honest thoughts on the potential pitfalls of Elizabeth’s relationship and provides a perspective from a different angle.
