“Opening the relationship after quarantine does feel like a possibility. I’m trying to figure out what that will look like. Because I don’t know how I’m going to feel about it. I can’t really picture myself being with somebody who dates multiple people”
Illustration: Simone Noronha Molly, 29, and Barbara, 30, Los Angeles Molly: I think something that I’ve known about myself for a long time, and have only just been able to admit recently, is that I don’t feel like I’m built for a long-term, monogamous partnership. So my relationship with Barbara took me by surprise.
Barbara: I felt sick, and I felt sad. Just ’cause — and maybe we won’t one day — but, it’s like, how can two people like this be compatible? We felt out of sync, and that sucked. The universe was not our friend. But I wanted us to be able to have more open conversations about sex going forward. This whole thing in general has made me realize that both of us had not been communicating to our fullest extent — and that makes things hard, not just sex.
Molly: I think we have a lot of work to do, her and I. And I want to invest in that before we blow anything up. We’re now showing up as our full selves, which can be scary. Barbara: Molly is the first person to really ever get me in a lot of ways. I’ve always felt unseen, and she gets me. I want to figure it out with her. I want to be there for her however I need to be.
