What are you willing to do to save a relationship that is going south? Go to therapy? Take a break? How about allowing your partner to have sex with another woman?
I know that last part might sound crazy, but it was the exact advice given by Chelsy Moore Grace, a self-help coach that specializes in giving self-healing and relationship advice.
It might sound like she’s advocating for cheating, but her stance is a little more complex than that: if you and your partner have differing sex drives, allow him to fulfill his needs by having sex with other women.
Moore Grace’s defense was that opening your relationship up in that way will cultivate a stronger sense of love and prevent cheating by giving your partner what he wants, while also not forcing you to have sex if you truly don’t want to have it.
The video went viral after it was reposted on Twitter, captioning it, “Women Don’t Like These Convos” and all hell broke loose from both sides.
Of course, some people agree! On the flip side, there are both men and women saying that there’s not a chance in hell they’d participate in something like that.
And others are having genuine conversations about why it’s so important to date somebody you’re compatible with—including those who want an equally unconventional or non-traditional relationship setup, just like you.
