@coachtifftaniq: Relationship Anarchy (RA) is a thing, it is a type of non-monogamy. BUT 🤦🏽‍♀️ If a person defines their RA journey similar to this, you may wanna have your running shoes on standby. ⚠️🏃🏽‍♀️ You can’t build a fluid community with a foundation of rigid rules based on YOUR individual traumas or experiences in past relationships, and that’s what this person is asking: “can we just call it a friendship instead of a partnership, even though I want everything a partnership and romantic relationship entails” and the answer, for your SANITY lol should be absolutely not. True healthy relationships evolve. That is a natural occurrence that should be discussed rather than avoided within a connection. Asking someone to pour into you or a connection in ways that denote a committed relationship, but never receive the reverence of one can be very emotionally draining and damaging. This is equivalent to that person who love bombs you for a month and then when you ask where things are going, they tell you they “don’t want anything serious” AFTER they’ve been enjoying your time, energy and body for some time and reaping all the benefits of you. Don’t let other people make their unhealed trauma your responsibility or intellectualize you into agreeing to “friendships” like this if they rub you the wrong way. It is OK to be non-monogamous and not subscribe to some of these newfangled ways of relating that don’t make sense. This is NOT the overall example of relationship anarchy so much as it is avoiding words like the bogeyman because of your own unhealed relationship trauma. Stay safe out there, Loves & I’ll catch ya in the next one. ❤️‍🩹🫶🏽 Stitch Clip 🎥: @@Queer Collective Podcast ##relationships##polyamory##nonmonogamy##dating##feelings##emotions
