Lazy Successful Non-Monogamy, Ep. 26

As we all know, the mental health impact of the pandemic combined with the process of opening up a monogamous, long term marriage can create a lot of challenges to overcome. Today we're talking about unwinding codependency, some of the mismatch that came up in the speed at which each of them wanted to open the relationship, some jealousy, fitting it into life while raising kids and running a business,  and so much more. Today I'm talking to Rachel Symington, aka the successful lazy bitch, and her husband Greg. They live in rural Kentucky with their two little kids and have been married for over a decade. They decided to become non-monogamous the summer of 2021, and have been exploring all of the aspects that come along with that. 💨 TLDR;2:15- Transitioning from monogamy to non-monogamy8:39- Working Through Codependency15:14- Motivation and Compersion29:55- Nuclear Families and Kids with Non-Monogamy34:44- Dating in Non-Monogamy41:30- Lazy Successful Non-Monogamy❤️ Enjoying the show?
