about how's this going to work, and you need to communicate what the boundaries are.
So essentially, you can keep the primacy of your main relationship at the forefront.
And, you know, I think sometimes when there's distance, it can be more problematic when it comes to negotiating an open relationship, only because, you know, the threat of jealousy is much higher.
Yeah, every couple needs to develop really their own kind of ground rules, their mutual understanding of how it's going to work.
But communication is really essential and even the best couples, the strongest couples that have open relationships still run into problems sometimes.
Look, it can do.
And for some couples that are really robust and maybe, you know, the foundations are really solid, they can negotiate that and be okay with that.
And then there are other couples and maybe even one partner in the couple that may feel very threatened by that and actually having an open relationship may not be the best way to go just because the safety and security of the relationship is undermined.
Yes, yeah.
I mean, these are just kind of make or break questions, aren't they?
It really depends on the, you know, the strength of the relationship.
I mean, if you have a really strong, robust relationship now and then you're going to be apart for a period of time, you know, that's, it's very possible to do.
I mean, look at FIFO workers, you know, lots of people who are married and suddenly one partner becomes a FIFO worker and, you know, every month they're away for three weeks or even longer.
So you can negotiate it.
But what we do know is the really essential thing is you need to have relationship certainty.
So even if you're going to be away for six months, like Riley, you need to know when will you next be seeing each other.
Because one of the worst things that can happen is just not having any plans, not having a definite time.
And the relationships that don't tend to make it, the long distance ones, are the ones where there's just, they're open-ended.
There's just no plans.
There's no long-term plans.
