I had a dream that I was with a partner who was demanding things to be a certain specific way... I woke up feeling grateful for being celibate, for now, as I am undergoing this "learning to love myself" business. It has been over 2 years since my last relationship, and I am still healing. The most precious gift of love has been to allow myself all the time that I need. Sure, I wish I had a lover or two, or more for that matter... But polyamorous relationships, any relationship for that matter, requires communication and will to hold space for your partner(s).
I'm really like your article, thanks for sharing!
hahaha. the dream part got me rolling... we lots are too jealous for polyamorous relationships. Men can legally keep such relationships in many parts of Africa and Islam also supports it but for a woman, they will scream taboo... :).
Seriously though, I hope you heal and feel ready to take a chance on love again.
Btw, thank you for your comment.
My pleasure, thanks for the thoughtful post and the safe space that you are holding for us to be able to share this topic... Btw, I too am really way too jealous, which is why communication is critical!
