Falling in Love With Another...When Open Relationships Expand

from Evolving Love Hosted by Abbey Mackay

In this episode of Evolving Love, we dive into one of the biggest fears people have around non-monogamy: what happens if you fall in love with someone else? We also unpack the difference between infatuation, limerence and lasting love. We share stories about dating separately for the first time, navigating intense emotional connections with other partners, and learning how openness and honesty helped us move through those experiences together instead of apart. We talk about the “new relationship energy” that can feel all-consuming, the fears it can trigger, and why emotional transparency became so important for us. More than anything, this conversation became an exploration of what love actually means. Can loving another person threaten an existing relationship, or can it deepen your understanding of connection, choice and commitment?
