Dating bill of rights and responsibilities

The Mono + Poly Bill of Rights and Responsibilities

Yeah, no. When your mono partner tells you they are feeling lonely because you are spending the night with someone else, that is an opportunity for you to practice a really important combination of skills that is part of healthy communication: Acknowledging and Validating. Acknowledgment and validation can go a very long way in making a partner feel heard. If you have agreed to be part of an open relationship; then finding ways to deal with feelings of loneliness is part of your responsibility. Imagine, for example, if you were in a conventionally monogamous relationship and your partner had to spend three days out of town for a work conference. You would express, when your partner called during a break in their itinerary, that you miss them. They would tell you that they miss you, too. You are not infallible. You will make mistakes. You have to work on getting really good with being conscious of how NRE New Relationship Energy is affecting your interactions with your established partner.
