Maya, 29, sat down with her partner Ollie, 35, to discuss the intricacies of their non-monogamous relationship.
For Maya, navigating jealousy and self-doubt is an ongoing challenge. When Ollie's on a date, she finds it difficult not knowing what to do with herself. She admits that this learned behavior stems from her past experiences in monogamous relationships, where trust issues led to infidelity. However, with non-monogamy, Maya believes there's no reason not to trust each other.
"I question whether I'm cut out for non-monogamy," she confesses. "I know Ollie's on a date, and I find myself visualizing him having sex with someone else. But then I remind myself that this is just learned behavior, and I need to unlearn it."
Their relationship has been a transformative experience for both parties. For Maya, sex with Ollie is a source of pleasure and confidence. She's found a way to take on a dominant role in bed, something she previously struggled with due to pain and discomfort.
Ollie, on the other hand, finds that his partner allows him to be vulnerable and fully himself. He appreciates how Maya supports and accepts him, particularly when he brings cross-dressing into their intimate moments.
"I don't feel jealous about sexual acts," Ollie admits. "But I'd struggle if Maya developed deeper feelings for someone else."
Their journey has been marked by open communication, honesty, and a willingness to navigate the complexities of non-monogamy together. As they continue on this path, they acknowledge that it's okay to have doubts and fears – but also that trust and intimacy can be cultivated with effort and understanding.
In an industry where traditional relationships are often portrayed as the norm, Maya and Ollie's unconventional partnership serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries – not even those of monogamy.

I feel like non-monogamous relationships are really misunderstood in school and even outside of it. Like, people think it's all about being promiscuous or something, but honestly, Maya and Ollie's relationship is super healthy and loving. They're just trying to find ways to make trust work for them, you know? 
It's cool that they're not afraid to talk about their feelings and work through their doubts together. I wish more people could see that relationships are all about communication and mutual respect, no matter what the label is 
so i think what's super interesting about this couple is how they're actively working on unlearning those negative patterns from their past relationships... for maya, it's all about reframing her mindset and recognizing that trust doesn't have to be tied to exclusivity 
And Ollie gets to be his authentic self with her, which is just beautiful. I think this couple is proof that love can take many forms, and that's something we should all be celebrating.
I feel like they're totally getting it right tho! Non-monogamy can be super messy, but with the right mindset & communication, it can actually be really beautiful 
she's trying to break free from these toxic patterns in her past and learn to trust her partner for who he is, but it's hard w/ societal expectations being so heavy on traditional relationships 
i wish more people could see that non-monogamy isn't just about having multiple partners, it's about building a life of love, honesty, and vulnerability with the people you choose 
. But what I love is how they're working together to unlearn those negative patterns and build trust from scratch. It's all about finding that balance between vulnerability and boundaries, right? And can we talk about how awesome it is to have a partner who accepts you for who you are, even when that means cross-dressing 
? Maya and Ollie's relationship is the ultimate reminder that love comes in many forms and that non-monogamy isn't just about sex - it's about connection, intimacy, and trust.
it's so inspiring to see them navigate the challenges of non-monogamy together. I mean, who hasn't felt jealous or insecure at some point in a relationship? but they're doing it in a way that's healthy and supportive - like, Ollie being vulnerable with Maya and her loving him for who he is is truly beautiful 
. And Ollie, I love how you're being vulnerable with each other about your desires and boundaries 
. Remember that trust is something that can grow over time with effort and communication 
. You both seem like an amazing team 
. I think it's amazing that Maya is recognizing her learned behavior and actively working on unlearning it – it shows she's committed to making this non-monogamous thing work for them 
. And Ollie's vulnerability and acceptance of Maya's cross-dressing is just the sweetest
