People tend to judge non-traditional relationships, and that goes for FLRs, too. It’s fine to tell people you trust about your relationship dynamic if that’s what you want to do, but they may voice their negative opinions about it. At the end of the day, though, it’s your relationship—all that matters is what works for you and your partner.[12]
- Consider keeping your FLR status private, at least at first, until the roles are fully fleshed out and both partners are happy with the arrangement.
