Because at the core of cheating is betrayal.

So when I work with non-monogamous couples or people that are exploring non-monogamy, one of the first things that I do is talk about whether or not they want to create relationship agreements.

Some people do.

Some people don't.

And the people who don't

Maybe you would identify with a more relationship anarchy style of relationship as opposed to someone who is wanting something that is very codified and making agreements that people say they're going to adhere to.

hey, we're going to be open, but you can only have sex with people who are not in our friend group and only one time, right?

That would be an example of having relationship agreements.

Whereas relationship anarchy is like, I'm going to do my own thing.

We're going to see each other when we see each other.

You know, there's some intentionality about that, but it's not necessarily that you have these structures around who can do what with whom.

I have been cheated on.

Yeah.

and actually kind of a similar, I hate to compare myself to Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson, but this person cheated.

We were living together.

It was uncovered on Valentine's Day.

It was pretty rough.

And the way that he sort of told me that he had started seeing somebody was by saying, well, I'm not sure if I want monogamy, right?

And so that was a piece that came up in the Megan Thee Stallion post on Instagram.

And I totally related to that.
