This is truly amazing and inspiring to me. Do you know any single women who think like you? Would you say brutal honesty and communication is the key?
Most of the world will think being brutally honest to your s/o will push them away, not bring them closer. But like you said it takes a certain type of mentality to live like that. Now that I think about it, I don't know if many of us are even brutally honest with ourselves let alone our loved ones. How can I be completely honest with you if I'm not completely honest with myself first?
We could use more women like you in this world Reesey. You ever think about writing a book on free relationships?
Yes Brutal honesty and communication is the main key in my experience. As you stated, we must first have to be honest with ourselves before we are able to be honest with anyone else.
Do you know how enlightening that is? It is absolutely AMAZING to look at yourself in the mirror and see "every thing", to trust and believe in yourself to the fullest. Being honest with yourself truly allows for you to mend all wounds, conquer all issues and remove all baggage.
THIS and this alone allows for you to move into a relationship as your true self. Not holding on to "anything" that can potentially ruin a good thing.
I have many friends who think like me, but... they are not single in a traditional way. And to be honest, I don't blame them. Being in a relationship with them is easy. Men tend to lock them up quickly.
I have heard that I should write a book numerous times. Most recently, I have just been speaking at the community center and helping my sex counselor friend out as her apprentice.
Couples Skype my husband and I and we just talk freely.
They share things with us that they don't even tell one another until our sessions. But it has helped them SO much. and if either of them would rather talk to one of us alone, we oblige.
We get so much out of sessions with others as well. It's refreshing and it makes us feel good inside knowing that we made another couple smile that day.
But no... no book yet. I may have to revisit that idea though. Thank you for your encouragement.
