The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast
548. Jordan Peterson Takes Your Call: Advice, Mental Health, Family Dynamics | Mikhaila Fuller

You see, now these people in this situation, they have to think through everything. Okay, how many times a year are we going to meet? Once, twice, three times, four times, five times? How long are we going to meet? Who's going to come? What are the rules for engagement? How should we treat everyone?

Like I'd probably counsel them to try one dinner together and have a pretty decent discussion about one dinner, Beforehand. Who's coming? How long is it going to last? How are we going to treat each other? What would I recommend? Let's be polite like we would be to strangers that we were trying not to offend. Right? Because nobody knows what the hell's going on.

Everything at the table is anomalous and strange. And so maybe you meet at a restaurant because that's kind of neutral territory. And maybe you meet for an hour or maybe half an hour or 45 minutes, something like that. And you hope that it doesn't go horribly. And then if that worked, well, if that didn't work, then scale down.

If it did work, well, then maybe you could try something a little bit more Personal. You know, the problem is, is that something terribly anomalous has occurred and no one knows what to do about it.

Okay, I have one more thing to say about this. People like false adventures. Yeah. And false adventures are excitement without responsibility. And what you want to do within the confines of your marriage is find adventure in the marriage responsibly. I mean, there isn't anything better than a sexual relationship with someone you actually love. There's nothing better than that, period, the end.

And so if you're not getting that excitement and adventure within your relationship, that's what you should be working on. And that's going to be hard. Like, in order for that to happen, there has to be nothing between you. You won't trust each other. You won't let each other go. You won't let yourself go if there's anything between you and your wife, let's say.

And you're going to reduplicate every single bloody problem that you had with your wife, with this new person, in all likelihood. People are indefinitely complex. And if you have put your wife in a pumpkin shell and she's not very exciting, then... So you have to find someone new. Maybe you could try being a little more sophisticated and using a bit more encouragement.

A little more daring, a little more dreaming. Some lingerie. You know, clue in. Seriously. All this nonsense. The New Yorker does this all the time. The magazine. Polyamory is the new in thing. It's like... There's no punishment severe enough for people that stupid except the consequences of their own idiocy. And this is what these parents are afraid of.
