Alessandra Otero Ramos says
Hello! I just listened to “Non-Monogomy and Spiritual Growth” with Rachel Krantz and wanted to express my gratitude for presenting this topic with so much respect and from the point of view of of self love. My current partner just expressed that he wants to be in a polyamorus relationship. I am a latina. Until now I have experience relationships form the monogamy point of you and at some point I thought polyamory is not an option. However, after doing some research and listening to this episode seems to me that polyamorus relationships can be live from the basis of love, respect and commitment. It was eye-opening to learn that that polyamory as well as monogamy relationships can be harmful if the interactions are not address with compassion and equality. Thus, be well in a polyamory relationship is not about the number of the people involved but of the quality of interactions. Another takeaway from this episode is knowing the difference between love and the symptoms of the relationship (this question will be with me for now on, What are the symptoms of the love you have in a relationship?). Again, thank you very much for addressing this topic with so much clarity and understanding. As a latinx women it is important for me to learn about ethical non monogamy and polyamory from the point of view of other women and their individual experience. May you be happy!
