Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet?"Most of us in the West today will have two or three marriages or adult relationships in our lifetime. Some of us will do it with the same person... we know that we are not the only one and yet the whole romantic ideal is about the soulmate and the one and only." - Esther PerelRenowned relationship expert Esther Perel delves deep into society's evolving views on monogamy, challenging traditional notions that no longer align with modern reality. She explores how the concept has shifted from "one person for life" to "one person at a time," addressing the complex emotions that arise when partners navigate their respective sexual histories. Through her lens of cultural analysis, Perel illuminates how our individualistic society struggles with the idea of being "replaceable" in intimate relationships.The conversation takes a profound turn as Perel examines why some partners struggle hearing about their lover's sexual past, revealing how it threatens our deep-seated desire to feel unique and irreplaceable. She points out the fascinating paradox in modern relationships: while we know intellectually that we may not be someone's first or last love, we still cling to the romantic ideal of being "the one." Her insights challenge listeners to examine their own beliefs about love, desire, and the complex nature of modern relationships.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!
