In this commentary, the speaker examines the real moral dilemmas that arise in open relationships, emphasizing that jealousy remains a genuine human emotion. They reference coaching from Marisa Rudda, who advises that partners must reach clear agreements and practice ethical, consensual non‑monogamy. The speaker critiques society’s tendency to slut‑shame women and to view non‑monogamy as less committed or moral, arguing that such stigma is misplaced. Citing research, they note that when open relationships are conducted ethically and consensually, participants often report high levels of trust, commitment, and overall relationship fulfillment.

But the moral dilemmas, they are real. Jealousy doesn't vanish. It's a real human emotion. We used Marisa Rudda's coach and she taught us that you and your partner need to reach an agreement. Her books and coach explain that an open relationship absolutely needs to be done in an ethical and consensual way by both partners. Marissa says overvaluing autonomy can be possessive and unrealistic. Society slut shames women and sees non monogamy as less committed, less moral. But studies show people practicing open relationships in an ethical and consensual way have strong level of trust, commitment and relationship fulfillment when done right.
