“The important part isn’t that you are non-monogamous or polyamourous.. The important part is finding someone that wants to do things the same way as you do”
Marie interviews Lenny Walton, discussing his unique approach to relationships, which is somewhere between relationship anarchy and non-hierarchical polyamory.
Lenny shares his journey from monogamy to exploring alternative relationship models, emphasizing his current guidelines of “no rules, no commitment, no conflict.’ He discusses his process of redefining relationships to eliminate traditional hierarchies, focusing instead on individual autonomy and emotional maturity. Lenny also highlights the significance of personal growth, ethics, mutual respect, and trust, while sharing his experiences and insights into building meaningful relationships without traditional constraints. The conversation delves into Lenny’s strategies for achieving a balance between autonomy and connection, the role of trust in his paradigms, and the unique way in which he lets relationships evolve naturally over time.
“For me all of this alternative relationship theory is a strategy: what can give me the best odds of realising my dreams in a relationship.”
