Save Room For Dessert.... Content Warning.
Save Room For Dessert Thanksgiving dinner and party by the lake. Well technically not Thanksgiving, yet. My friend group of 7 has known each other since college, and we celebrate “Friendsgiving” every year. Michelle, Daniel, Calvin, Rayven, Neal, Bethany, and me: Hazel. My parents have a nice sized cabin they happily let me use every year because my friends and I offer to pay for professional cleaning after we leave and before my relatives arrive the following week. It’s usually a 3-day weekend. We have dinner catered on Friday night, host a “big” party of about 30/40 of extended friends and significant others the night after, and do a Sunday brunch. Monday turns it into a 4-day weekend when we need an extra day to relax and/or sober up.

How Psychology Helps Singles Navigate Open Relationships Successfully
Psychology is essential in ensuring that single people comprehend the reasons behind getting into open relationships. Others want to find many partners to have diversity and emotional gratification or sexual adventures. Others can be attracted either through curiosity or through personal development or social factors. The knowledge of these motivations acts to avoid engaging in an open relationship due to the wrong reasons, which include being afraid of commitment, loneliness, or even because of outside influence. Single individuals can do this through self-reflection, journaling or counseling in order to determine their goals and expectations. The better the motivations are understood, the more people tend to be eager to engage, communicate easily and create the boundaries that will meet the personal values and emotional needs.
