Synopsis
The Lifestyle Talk with Michael and Ellie podcast is a show where we talk about all things non-monogamy with people who actively engage in non-monogamy. We discuss open relationships, swinging, and polyamory and everywhere in between in an open and honest forum while giving our guests complete anonymity. On the Lifestyle Talk Podcast we will discuss our guests stories, how they got started, how their play dynamics work, and how they have evolved in the lifestyle. Everyone handles the lifestyle differently and everyone interacts differently. In this podcast we will explore those differences.

LTP-021 Dealing with the Green Eyed Monster
11/03/2015 Duration: 01h01minWe had a listener contact us and ask us if we ever and how we deal with Jealousy. Rather than respond privately, we thought it might be better to respond via our podcast so that everyone can hear how we manage jealousy. We think all couples in the lifestyle deal with jealousy from time to time, and we think couples like us who have different approaches to the lifestyle where one is more poly and the other is more swinger.. it can really create problems. Join us as we discuss those issues… and find out how we get through some of our more difficult moments. You’ll feel Ellie’s struggles as we discuss it and she discusses it through her tears of frustration… not at Michael, but at her own struggles to put her insecurities behind her. As a non-monogamous person you’ll probably hear some of your own struggles, and hopefully will learn some tools to get through jealousy and insecurities, but if nothing else you’ll at least know, you’re not alone in your struggle
