In today’s world, relationships come in all shapes and sizes. One influencer and mom, Danielle, has taken to social media to share her journey of acceptance and love in an open marriage. While it wasn’t an easy process, she now finds herself happily in a non-monogamous relationship.
Embracing Non-monogamy
Danielle, known as @openlycommitted on TikTok, shares videos about open relationships, dating, family life, and beauty with her 141,000 followers. In a recent clip, she opened up about her initial reaction when her now-husband first brought up the idea of non-monogamy.
At first, Danielle was hurt and confused. The thought of her partner desiring an open marriage made her doubt their relationship. They had only been together for a few months when he raised the topic, and it shocked her. She believed she had found her life partner, and she saw non-monogamy as a barrier to that.
A Change of Perspective
However, Danielle soon realized that non-monogamy wasn’t an ultimatum, but rather a choice they could make together. She began to see that it was a unique style of relationship that could work for them. What influenced her decision to explore non-monogamy was seeing monogamy fail for many people.
Curiosity led Danielle to consider if there could be a different style of relationship that would work for her. She asked herself how she wanted to live her life in a partnership. She came to the conclusion that non-monogamy was a choice she made for herself and with her husband to create a partnership that was specific to them.
More Love, More Happiness
Danielle’s priority was to maximize happiness in their lifetimes together. Now, she cherishes the partnership she has created with her husband. Embracing non-monogamy has given both of them the opportunity to experience more love in their lives.
Danielle’s TikTok explores various aspects of living in an open relationship, including how they navigate dating while raising children. Although some commenters questioned the need for an open relationship, many were intrigued and supportive of Danielle’s decision. They emphasized the importance of communication and respected the choices others make in their relationships.
