Hey Amelia! It was so great to listen to another way that two individuals share their life and love. My boyfriend and I will not be exploring an open relationship because we both agreed from the beginning we wanted a monogamous relationship. This has opened my eyes to what others do and helped me not be so judgemental about the topic. Just because it does not serve me doesn't mean it is not beautiful for someone else's life. I never judged hard just always had questions that made me feel like I was judging. This video answered so much and made me look at the concept so differently. Also so stoked my question made it in the vid lol! Love you and what you are doing for the world! Mahalo sista 🌈❤🌊
Hi Amelia ! I’ve been following you for a long time, since you were posting smoothie pictures on your Instagram ! ✨ it’s been so refreshing to hear your story and beliefs on love. It actually sparked so many wonderful conversations between my husband and I. I want to say, I truly admire how attentive you are when Matt is speaking and how articulate you are. I strive to be as articulate as you are one day! Thank you for opening up your relationship to the public eye. It’s helps so many people and like I mentioned before , even though my husband and I are still monogamous, it has sparked different ideas and thought like possible having experiences together with someone else. Hearing your story has been a catalyst for me and has really opened up my mind. Thank you thank you thank you. So grateful that I get to share time in this lifetime while you are in it.
I'm not sure why she keeps telling the audience what he's meaning to say. She keeps looking at him like a teacher with a student who is about to give the right answer...but when it's not exactly right for her narrative, she tells him what he actually meant to say and he kinda goes along with it. She's clearly leading this conversation and it doesn't at all seem to be equal. She has strong convictions on every question and if he doesn't, she makes sure to project her strong convictions onto him with a smile.
This was so informative I appreciate the book recommendations in here as well adding to my cart! Thanks for sharing your journey through this and showing that everyone’s relationships are unique! 🙏🏽🌸
First time watching this channel. The lady is absolutely gorgeous, I don’t understand how the dude could let other men make love to her. That’s insane. My dude your wife is stunning stop sharing her please.
Loved watching this and love hearing you guys speak about your relationship, especially in person at the Maui Experiment! Thanks for being such expanders for me and showing those who have similar values to you just how incredible love + relationships can be xx
Awww thank you Taylor, Maui was such an amazing experience. So happy to see that you are too expanding while remaining individual while in a relationship. 🌺
She's obviously wayyy more into him than he is into her. Poor woman. Instead of dating a narcissist who only cares about himself, she could find a guy who dedicates himself only to her. What a waste.
I like that you both are in love and adore each other. I also had a partner that enjoyed opening up to sharing our physical and emotional needs with others we feel are good for us especially those we trust form our interactions and see them as part of our friend family. Me and my girlfriend enjoyed this interaction and felt it was healthy physically and emotionally. We are both single now and are good friends. You just received so many great questions and answered them perfect and honesty. I look forward to your videos and wish you much success and happiness. You rock. I wanted to say that ma'ma, sorry i haven't seen your name but you are adorable and i love your happy energy, honest openness and being in touch with your needs, feelings and what makes you happy. I love that you are always smiling . Wishing you both continued success and happiness.
Hi Vera, thanks for your message. Like I said in the video. We don’t have a belief system representative of the society, we haven’t for a long time and my kids have been exposed to free thought since an early age. My kids don’t hold any resentment on how I navigate my relationship experiences and they are old enough to reiterate their concerns if they do. As for our future kids, they will have little to no influence from us. Of course they will bare witness to all aspects of love, and all kinds of different types of relationships.
@@resilience4477 Hi…Mainstream are trying to destroy family and the way I see(this is my understanding, I’m not judging) the respect between mother and father is essential for children. I get everything you say about experience life. But you can always do that when you’re not committed to someone else. I can feel Emilia is struggling with her confidence, especially when she say something like “want to know why he is attracted to her” and “maybe I can be more like her so he will be attracted to me too” Is just the feeling I got. As I said, I’m not judging, I love your vídeos, watched all of them. Love that you guys rescued so many animals. Love that you’re Vegan 🌱
Opposites definitely attract, you guys are hilarious. No boundaries/definitely boundaries…no book recs/definitely book recs 😂 You’re both so genuine and true to yourselves and it shows how two free thinking, free spirited people can connect. 👏👏monogamy doesn’t have to be the norm👏👏
We definitely have unique individual perspectives. When we find these non conditional loving connections that are quite hard to find, we no longer have to bite our tongues or fit ourselves inside a box to please the perception of our how others partners expect us to be. Become. We can just be brutely truthful and allowing another human to love us for that truth. As humans we will always make mistakes, which is part of our deeper learning processes, and partnering another human with this understanding of such unique individuality Is only going to advance the evolution of not ones self but everyone else that enters the experience. ✨
Curious near the end of Q and A you mentioned children. Do you think you guys relationship confuses the kids? How do they address you like mom or your first name? I have been a unicorn couple times but got nervous about being a good father making things complicated for my son
This seems a good way for one person to really get hurt. Who? Idk the tables always an boy do they. Someone will get hurt an badley. I mean no dis respect but just doesnt look good longterm. Idk why sending love an light to you both. This has been interesting to watch an like u both. Just seems like good ppl maybe just not for each other. Idk just the vibe i get deff see this blowing up at some point.
This was a video I didn't know I needed to watch. As someone who has never wanted to be in an open relationship, it has really made me go inwards and uncover why. It has opened up the space for me to dig deep and release these old attachments that don't need to be there. I have written down the books you recommended and will most definitely be giving them a read. Thanks guys for using this platform to share your love and knowledge with us. Much love xx
Wow, that was heart warming to read Siobhan. Anything that prompts us to go deeper within ourselves, to uncover the layers or to identify them at the very least is evolutionary for our higher truer selves. We do carry this heavy amour of attachments through life, most attached beliefs weighing us down and not serving us at all. So happy that you are curious about Amelia’s book rec’s too. Thank you so much for your constant support and sending you love ✨💕
Fear of them falling in love with someone else & just dropping you like that.. I really like what she said.. about seeing him & wanting him more. Realizing their an individual & they can do them. We hear of people "letting themselves go" in a long term relationship. Blah.. too many thoughts to type. 😂 He does come off very selfish.. but i can see that we dont know him like she does obviously.
Thank you for this! My partner & I recently opened up our marriage & it’s been the best decision for us. I’m about 50 pages in to The Ethical Slut and reading on paper) & listening on RUclips), to things I have felt for so long is really validating. I truly feel as though I’ve been opened up to a different realm of life (similar to how I felt when I went vegan nearly 7 years ago). So excited about the future & love hearing from other like-minded individuals about this topic. I’ve enjoyed all of your videos thus far & am looking forward to the next! Much love.
That's so beautiful to gear Alexandra ✨ It's so true, once we adopt a more conscious creative way of living, as in vegan foods etc. Once we see that we can relate more healthily and eat more healthily, we start to deconstruct the construct put in place to ultimately make us suffer (our human health) (our human connections). We can then look deeper into how are we being educated, who influences our education, where do we get our information from, government? Media? It's amazing to see so many people breaking it all down and disposing of what no longer serves them. It's beautiful.
Hello Amelia and Matt ! Appreciate you sharing and being so vulnerable and raw with each of your individual experiences with your open relationships. This has really brought me some clarity on the differences between open and polyamory. I think you ~ Amelia were the person who sparked my curiosity about alternative ways to enter a relationship other than a monogamous one. Which I am so incredibly grateful for ! I notice as the years pass by that I continually am finding ways to get out of my own way … and by that I mean ~ I AM coming to terms more and more with these feelings and seeing them for what they truly are. And at the end of the day ~ allowing myself to set with it. Even if that means just being aware and not forcing myself to change in such drastic ways but starting to initiate that process of ~~ okay what’s serving my higher self in this moment ? And taking those baby S T E P S . Anywhoooo ~ long story short I appreciate and value your content and have for years .
I love the analogy comparing it to veganism and breaking free of the norm society has put on that you need meat, same as how monogamy is the norm and people just follow it blindly.
Yes! Me too! I appreciated his comparison there too! It’s empowering to think for yourself / honor your own individual thoughts / ideas / beliefs rather than just assume the “norm” when it comes to such important / personal aspects of our life. I love questioning what’s “expected of me” according to society’s standards.
Thanks for your comment Elisabet 🌸 Stoked that you resonated with that analogy. Stepping away from the conditional, limited love, if you do this or that I won’t love you anymore way of doing the relationship.
@@SaltSandandSmoothies Thank you for your reply! Couldn’t agree more. I remember your stories on Instagram when you first met each other and your journey into an open relationship and it planted a seed in my head as well. Thank you both for replying so honestly to the questions and sharing your journey. Will definitely be reading the book recommendation too, to become more of a free person. Still struggle with the expectations of society/surroundings than what my soul really wants🙏
Haha thanks Brady. 🙈 I know with my two kids. Exposing them to other people (that you attract/connet to) is only going to be beneficial to their growth and development. If you are a gentle loving, kind person, ultimately you will attract the same and having more people like this around our children the more contrast and diversity they will grow into. They of course don't need to reproduce the same patterns of your connecting creative style, but they witness it merely as a contrast and I feel most children don't ever have the experience to see other forms of human relating. 🙏
you both are incredible. this gave me soo much clarity i never knew i needed before. you're both so genuine, open, and authentic with yourselves, each other, and sharing your story and personal lives with the rest of us. thank you so much for this. so much love for you both and this channel, and cannot wait for your future videos. XO
That’s sweet Charlotte, thankyou for taking your time to leave a comment and to watch our video. 💕 Hopefully we keep can keep supplying the views with authentic content outside of square.
I really enjoyed listening to this. I’ve been spending time learning about it after having an uncomfortable limiting monogamous relationship the last 4 years. This is very expanding. Thanks for being open and sharing the details with us!
Thanks again for watching our videos Amelia. It’s so important to stay within our truth and not compromise that truth by become actors within a constructed pantomime. We are so so much more than that and once we let go of the judgment we expand our life’s creativity and create something unique. ✨✨
Amelia, I love how aware you are of minor judgments and how you always emphasize that this is your personal opinion and way of living but all other personal choices are valid and individual. Matt, I love how honest and true to your emotions you are in your responses. Your passion for this topic was shining through and captivating my interest (while giving me a few giggles). Amelia, did you always enjoy meeting Matts's other partners from the beginning, or is that something that you learned about yourself after a few experiences? or how did you find out that you enjoy being somewhat involved in his other relationships?
Hi Olivia! Wow! Thank you so much for your lovely and thoughtful comment. I will say with complete transparency that I've never been "Perfect" (of course!) at managing my emotions and have absolutely had some big bouts of jealousy and fear of abandonment / fear of matt moving on with another woman come to the surface over the last 4 years. But what I will say is that MEETING the other women, having an in person chat with them, creating a space to get to know them, (and vice versa) and also speak to them personally about any concerns or questions they may have about our relationship style and the devotion matt and I have to one another has HELPED calm my big emotions tremendously. Almost as if i created all of these big dramatic "what if" stories in my head and then after only a few minutes of meeting them, my nerves are calmed and 9/10 times i can honestly say I feel like "Oh i totally understand why youre attracted to her! She's interesting / funny / smart / interesting. etc." So ... its helped me. And i think i figured that out pretty early on!
@@SaltSandandSmoothies Wow yes that makes a lot of sense! Thank you for sharing your personal experience! Did you find that these big emotions of jealousy and fear of abandonment came up more in the beginning while you were still finding your groove or more so now after several years? When those big emotions came up, how did you work through them (other than meeting his partners and calming the big "what if" stories running around your mind)? Did you talk it out with Matt or did you turn more inwards? Did those feelings come up for Matt at all? This is quite an interesting subject you are covering lol!
@@SaltSandandSmoothies Miss Amelia, you speak of your feelings of jealousy and fear of losing this relationship as if they are weaknesses that you need to improve on. I would say those are normal emotions that, as a man, I would want to reassure that you are my only permanent relationship. I'd have to set strong boundaries and conduct the open part together, in person with one another, with possible rare exceptions. Your relationship is the #1 priority. Being with others should, I believe, only serve as an enhancement of your marriage, not a part of your lives that is held equally important. Just the thoughts of an old-fashioned, romantic southern boy, who has a wild side to enjoy with my woman.
@@tennsmoothie thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I LOVE what you wrote and appreciate you for sharing your thoughts, input and a gentle reminder for to love and accept ALL of my emotions in such a compassionate and caring way. This comment made my day! Truly. All my best x x
It is easy to see who is chasing who in this relationship. The way she looks at him... Wow. I hope he realizes the true value of what he has.
True!! she is way too submissive. To me it seems like she doesn't fully agree with his visions and is doing it all solely to please him.
She took another man. The smile is just youtube narcisism.
@@MyFriendlyPup yeah she cheated on him so she broke every rule they have in this relationship.
Oh girl you deserve so much better. He seems so not into you:(
To each their own, but man she is chasing him! She deserves better!

Just having sex with another person is risky/long term damaging enough, but romantic relationships? Insanity.

If love each other, Why do seek relationships with other people???. Greetings from Chile.

@@SaltSandandSmoothies Miss Amelia, you speak of your feelings of jealousy and fear of losing this relationship as if they are weaknesses that you need to improve on. I would say those are normal emotions that, as a man, I would want to reassure that you are my only permanent relationship. I'd have to set strong boundaries and conduct the open part together, in person with one another, with possible rare exceptions. Your relationship is the #1 priority. Being with others should, I believe, only serve as an enhancement of your marriage, not a part of your lives that is held equally important.
Just the thoughts of an old-fashioned, romantic southern boy, who has a wild side to enjoy with my woman.
