You just found out the person you’re dating is going through a divorce that hasn’t been finalized yet. Do you pump the breaks on it? And if so, could you actually be convinced not to?

Talk about a hot take! Obviously, not everyone feels the same way. For many people, though, this situation is an immediate deal breaker, and you might be one of them. (In fact, many of my clients agree; I’ve got the DMs and emails to prove it).

But if you find yourself in this scenario, unless there are other red flags in your relationship, it’s at least worth thinking about from a different perspective. It might even surprise you to know that open marriages are quite common, including among people you’ve definitely heard of.

In this episode of Love Life Connection, you’ll learn the story of billionaire investor Warren Buffet’s open marriage and the benefits of staying married even after the love is gone. I also talk about red flags to beware of if you’re dating someone in this situation, as well as the business of marriage and how it still applies if you’re dating and living together.

5:59 – The open marriage of Warren Buffett (and why it was beneficial)

9:32 – The two parts to a relationship (and which part to watch for any red flags)

15:07 – How marriage is like a business

19:31 – The separate or combined accounts conundrum

22:13 – Another area you need to get clear on to have the space for romance in a marriage

25:36 – What if you’re living together but not married?

29:43 – My goal for you when it comes to dating and money
