What Ethical Non-Monogamy Can Teach Us About ALL Healthy Relationships

Send us Fan MailJoin Marc Almodovar, Founder of the Men's ADHD Support Group, and Kyrus Westcott of The Vibe with Ky as they explore what some think is a taboo subject: Ethical Non-Monogamy.But here's the thing, this isn't a talk about whether you should practice ethical non-monogamy. It's about what ENM can teach us about communication, boundaries, consent, and intentional relationship design, skills that make every relationship healthier, regardless of structure.When you can't rely on default relationship scripts, you have to talk about everything. You have to get clear on what you want, what you need, and what your boundaries actually are. That clarity? It's valuable for everyone.In this conversation, Marc and Kyrus explore:Why clear communication beats assumptions every timeHow to identify and communicate your actual needs (not just what you think you're supposed to want)The difference between agreements and expectationsWhy boundaries are about you, not controlling someone elseHow to design relationships that actually work for the people in themYou don't need to be interested in ENM to benefit from this. You don't need to agree with it. You're here to learn, not to commit to anything. Take what fits your life and leave the rest.This is a safe conversation. You're allowed to be curious. You're allowed to feel uncomfortable, excited, confused, or skeptical. All of it belongs here.Whether you're in a traditional relationship, single, or exploring other options, the relationship skills discussed apply. Because healthy relationships—of any structure—are built on the same foundation: honesty, communication, and intentional choice.If you're interested in Ky's amazing cologne check it out here -- https://sucreabeille.com/products/why-did-i-walk-into-this-roomIf you're interested in following Ky you can check out his website -- https://thevibewithky.com/Also follow him on all major platforms @vibewithky! 00:23 - Ky's Background and Achievements01:49 - Introduction to Ethical Non-Monogamy03:23 - Understanding Ethical Non-Monogamy04:56 - Ky's Personal Experience with ADHD and Relationships11:52 - Exploring Relationship Structures20:46 - Neurodivergent Traits and Ethical Non-Monogamy31:10 - Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) and Jealousy39:20 - Practical Tools for Managing RSD and Jealousy41:11 - Reflecting on Fear-Based Stories in Relationships42:10 - Understanding ADHD Challenges in Relationships45:11 - Effective Tools for Managing ADHD in Relationships49:46 - Expressing Vulnerable Feelings and Needs52:32  - Open Q&A: Navigating Communication and Jealousy1:03:30 - Balancing Time and Conflict Resolution Strategies Check out our website for great blogs, information, and upcoming events!
