Nobody opens their relationship thinking, "You know what would be great? More calendars, more processing, and less sleep." And yet… here we are. In this episode, we get honest about the moment when non-monogamy stops being sexy and starts feeling like work. From emotional exhaustion to double bookings to the pressure to be the "cool" partner who's always down, we talk about the side of the lifestyle that rarely makes it to the highlight reel. We unpack burnout vs. disconnection, the guilt that comes with slowing down, and why joy should always come before performance. If you've ever loved this lifestyle and also quietly needed a break, this one's for you.
