Episode Description

In this Wednesday QUICKIE episode of Beyond Monogamy with Adam & Pris, we're calling out one of the biggest turn-offs in the lifestyle: entitlement disguised as "being ghosted."

Just because someone doesn't reply immediately doesn't mean they disappeared — it usually means they're busy living a real life.

This episode was sparked by a real interaction on Reddit where a lack of instant replies turned into accusations, guilt-tripping, and a crash course in what not to do when talking to people in the lifestyle.

We break down:

  • The difference between being busy and actual ghosting
  • Why patience is sexy and entitlement is not
  • How lifestyle etiquette gets thrown out the window in DMs
  • Why visibility does not equal availability
  • Respecting boundaries without killing the vibe
  • How pushiness quietly ruins attraction

If you've ever thought "Why haven't they responded yet?" — this episode is for you. Take a breath, slow your roll, and remember that confidence, respect, and patience are what actually make connections last.
