My Open Relationship Journey - Emotional Zeroing Out

Open relationships can be emotionally complicated at the best of times, and I've learned the critical importance of a technique called emotional zeroing out which has really helped keep my partner and I happy even when things get complicated.
A few nights ago at a swingers party, I felt myself getting triggered by a few things that were going on. Rather than get mad at my partner and lash out at her, I took some space to emotionally zero out, and really get to the core of what I was feeling and why so I could come to her the next day and talk to her from a much better head space.
This process is something that all successful open relationships go through from time to time, so I hope this gives you some insight if you're thinking of getting into an open relationship yourself.
