Contrary to a great deal of public belief, not all relationship styles are created equal. More and more, people are beginning to acknowledge that a monogamous relationship style is not necessarily the only approach to a long-term union, and that consensual non-monogamy (CNM) might be a more comfortable relationship style for certain couples (ie: "Monogamish"). And in other cases, monogamy continues to be the relationship style that works best. The point is, there does not h...ave to be a one-size-fits-all approach to relationships anymore. Read below: "Comparison studies looking at all of the gold standards for measuring relationship quality relationship satisfaction, sexual satisfaction, duration of the relationship, communication, etc. show that consensually non-monogamous relationships perform equal or better than monogamous relationships," Schechinger said. #relationships #relationshipgoals #couples #monogamy #monogamish #consensualnonmonogamy #CNM #consent #communication #relationship #polyamorous #swinger #openrelationships #Polyamory #partnership #partners #boyfriend #girlfriend #married #marriage #longtermrelationship #relationshipstatus #love #commitment #negotiable #trust #truth #honesty #therapy #couplestherapy #mentalhealth https://www.businessinsider.com/what-consensual-non-monogam

This week is Weight Stigma Awareness Week. Please read the article below to learn how weight stigma and weight discrimination impacts people in all sorts of body types, and how it promotes feelings of shame and self loathing and eating disorders. Weight stigma is possibly the most endorsed, medically and socially reinforced, promoted form of discrimination that exists (this is NOT to minimize other forms of discrimination). Whether subtle or overt, weight stigma induces- in... a most visceral, painful manner - a sense of shame, isolation, defectiveness, alienation and humiliation. It is vital we explore the thoughts we have when we see a larger person and a smaller person with curiosity, compassion and honesty. #WeightStigmaAwarenessWeek #weightstigma #weight #obesity #fat #skinny #bodyimage #bodytype #discrimination #fatshaming #bodyshaming #bodylove #bodypositivity #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisorders #health #anorexia #bulimia #disorderedeating #bodydiversity #recovery #therapy #mentalhealth

We’re moving toward what I call open monogamy, where people have a primary partner or a central relationship, but having some kind of fluid arrangement that is like ‘don’t ask, don’t tell, Nelson said. #relationships #marriage #affair #dating #couples #pandemic #lockdown #covidaffairs #technology #texting #sexting #partners #infidelity #fidelity #trust #relationship #desire #ashleymadison #survey #research #secrets #lies #truth #poly #monogamy #nonmonogamous #openrelationships #couplestherapy #mentalhealth https://venturebeat.com//ashley-madison-extramarital-affa/
