#17: Voice Note: What do we owe our weak tie lovers?

source: sketchplanations

Today I'm talking about something I’m calling 'weak tie lovers.' Those relationships that aren't short term, but aren't full-on partnerships either. I don’t like the word situationships, and I think weak tie lovers are more inherent to non-monogamy. I share some of my own stories to show you how these fit into my life.

I'll talk about how the relationships have intensified and faded, how I balance these connections with my other relationships, and why good communication is so important, even when you're drifting apart. These relationships have enriched my life but also have left me feeling abandoned at times.

Whatever your relationship structure, I think you'll find some interesting questions here. Also remember if you’d prefer to read rather than listen, you can just click to read the transcript of this post.
