What is the focus of today's advice session?
Hey there, and welcome back to Advice Session, a series here on Anything Goes where you send in your current dilemmas or anything you want advice on, and then I give you my very unprofessional advice, and then hopefully you take it with a grain of salt. And today's topic is a familiar one, the topic of relationships, dating, love, romance. This is a reoccurring topic here on Anything Goes. But to make it a bit spicier, today we're going to be discussing distrust in love, jealousy, trust issues, the not so fun stuff. And so without further ado, I say we should just begin. I briefly interrupt this episode to let you know that this episode is presented by Dove's new plant milk cleansing collection.
You know how I love my little treats, and I feel the same way about treating my skin in the shower. So I give my skin what it's craving with Dove's plant milk collection body washes. Made with a special plant milk blend, just one shower deeply hydrates your skin and leaves you feeling soft and glowing. My favorite scent is the oat milk and berry brulee, but they all smell incredible. Turn your next shower into the little treat your skin deserves. Head to Target to buy Dove's Plant Milk Collection Body Wash before it sells out. Now, back to the episode. All right, starting with number one. Somebody said, the guy I'm in love with wants an open relationship, but I don't know if I'll be too jealous. What do I do? All right, let's break it down, okay?
Your boyfriend wants an open relationship and you are clearly hesitant. I say that you're clearly hesitant because you're thinking about it to the point where you're asking me what you should do. Like, you know, a lot of decisions in life require an hour or two of thought. This is clearly bothering you, sticking with you, to the point where you're asking me, a random lady on the internet, what you should do, okay? That already tells me that this is not something that you're naturally comfortable with. This is not something that you have a really good feeling about, okay? If this was something that you were naturally inclined to do, if it felt organic and authentic to your personality, it would have never made it to the Anything Goes Instagram account, I can guarantee that. Actually, I can't guarantee anything. I am not God, but I can reasonably guess that this is not sitting right with you.
Now, before we go any further, let me tell you my take on open relationships, okay? I have to start by saying that open relationships don't work for me. And I'm saying that without ever being in one because I know myself enough to know that that is not a romantic structure that would work for me, okay? I know that for me personally, romance, intimacy, connection at that level is far too... fragile for me to allow another person into that equation. I know that dating and romance and all these things are so sacred to me that involving somebody else would completely destroy the relationship for me psychologically. And it would destroy me psychologically. It would destroy the relationship in my brain psychologically, but it would also on a personal level outside of the relationship destroy me psychologically. It would destroy the relationship because I wouldn't feel like the bond that I have with that person would be ours anymore. And that's something I don't think I could handle. You know, I think what makes...
Part of what makes a romantic monogamous relationship so special is that it's a relationship between me and one other person that is unlike any other relationship I have with anyone else on the planet at that given moment. You know, it's somebody who I'm in some ways trialing to be... potentially like the father of my children. Like it's a serious thing to me. It's incredibly deep and vulnerable. And if another person was involved in it in some way romantically, it would break that bond, at least in my mind, okay? It just would ruin it for me. And if that was something that my partner needed in a relationship, I wouldn't be able to do it. But I also think that being in an open relationship would ruin me as an individual psychologically.
