Everyone has fears when exploring open relationships — and naming them is the first step to working through them. Vote for the one that resonates most with you, or add your own in the comments. When we have enough votes, we’ll open a dedicated thread where members can share strategies that have worked for them, so we build a collective playbook together.

The first step in any open relationship journey is knowing your WHY. For the next 7 days, take 5 minutes each day to answer a short reflection question. Post your answers as a comment (or keep them private — but share at least one insight by the end of the week to earn extra points). Day 1: Why am I curious about an open relationship? Day 2: What fears come up when I think about opening up? Day 3: What do I want more of in my love life? Day 4: What values are non-negotiable for me? Day 5: How do I usually deal with jealousy? Day 6: What boundaries would make me feel safe? Day 7: How will I know this path is right for me? ✅ Completing all 7 days will unlock the Boundary Builder badge and give you +100 points.
