“They Said They Were Open!”: Should You Check Someone’s Relationship Status?

If you’re hooking up with someone who says they’re on a break, non-monog, ENM, or in an open relationship - do you need to do your homework and find out if they’re telling the truth? In this episode, we debate whether the ethics of investigating someone’s relationship status and hear your takes on whether it’s important to get evidence, if the burden of proof is on them, or if it’s none of your business.
