Does that mean something or is it okay? The second asks, Is it okay for me to not want my partner to date monogamous people or is that something I need to learn to be okay with? --------------------------- Find Consent Wizardry on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/consent.wizardry/ on Substack: https://consentwizardry.substack.com/ on the web: https://consentwizardry.com/ ----------------------- Also!
