  Interesting show as always, but I would love to see you do something on working class gay men, for example gay men living on social welfare in London or gay men looking after an aged parent or partner. I love your podcast&apos;s but I world like to see more social issues like housing, health, unemployment &nbsp;and the cost of living and how these effect gay men. &nbsp;On some of your more recent podcasts you were focusing on well off moneyed gays, actors and celebrities, the majority of gay men who watch your podcasts can not afford the life style these guys have. &nbsp;Anyway these are just some suggestions, keep up your great work.

  Opening up our relationship with pressure from my partner destroyed our 25 year relationship. We separated 8 years ago. I am now alone at the age of 78 and enjoying being by myself. The stress of that relationship caused both physical and emotional problems.

  My husband and I have been together for 41 years in a monogamous relationship. Over the years, many of our gay couple friends have opened their relationships. None of those couples are together anymore. I don’t understand why people can’t make a commitment to their partners.

  From the few people I have spoken with who had this type of relationship, someone always got squeezed out.

  Interesting! I was monogamous, and thought my partner of 25 years was too. Regrettably he was not so now I&apos;m alone with my dog and actually enjoying being alone.

  The reason people break up comes down to two main factors: their values being betrayed and their needs being unmet. The problem is that most people not only do not clarify what those values and needs are, but they don’t even know them until they present themselves. The tough aspect is also that those two elements can change with time and experiences, which means clarity is everything.

  I only need one man in my life. Always have. Always will. I don&apos;t defend it. I don&apos;t explain it. I don&apos;t need to convince anyone. Just follow what your heart wants and find someone who shares the same dream. Whatever that may be. Take care everyone! 😉❤

  &quot; I&apos;m so excited to bring this to my therapist&quot;. That says it all Mary.

  I&apos;m 51 and I&apos;ve been with my partner for 32 years. I honestly can&apos;t imagine opening up our relationship. I&apos;ve never really understood the appeal. I love my partner, and he&apos;s the only person I&apos;ve wanted to share my life with.<br>We&apos;ve always had a great sex life, although there have been periods when sex wasn&apos;t a priority. That&apos;s just life. Sometimes you&apos;re dealing with bigger things together and your focus shifts.<br>Watching your video, I got the impression that open relationships tend to appeal to people for whom sexual variety is very important. I can understand that, even if it&apos;s not for me. That said, I&apos;ve always struggled to see open relationships as the same kind of committed partnership that my relationship has been.
