Heather and Tom Pearce, a couple who practices open relationships, share their unique Valentine's Day plans involving their respective partners. Heather embarks on a girls' trip while Tom enjoys a romantic dinner with Heather's boyfriend. They emphasize the importance of respect, communication, and open dialogue in their unconventional family dynamic.
Valentine's Day is generally a day to cozy up with your significant other, but for one bold pair, this year's love fest is a break from the norm. Heather Pearce, 31, alongside her hubby Tom, 36, are vocal about their open relationship that includes two more partners.
She sheds light on the respect shared among them: "My boyfriend really respects my husband. It wouldn't work if he didn't. And the same goes for my husband's girlfriend – she is so incredibly respectful of my marriage," reports the Mirror. Recounting the mixed emotions on Tom's first extramarital encounter, Heather said, "He had what we refer to as a play session with another person. It was very strange because I enjoyed the idea of it, but I was also quite jealous. We wanted to work past the jealousy, so we sat down and talked about it, figured out what was causing it, and how we could stop that from happening in future.
Over recent years, Tom has enjoyed the company of a few different play partners – one for over two years and another with whom he shares a regular play dynamic. "Women gravitate towards him because he's a safe and kind person," Heather explains."In September last year, I took the plunge and slid into the DMs of somebody that I'd seen at these events, and we started talking back and forth," she recounts.
"We all get on really well and always have a really good time. My boyfriend often refers to my husband as his brother. There are often times when Tom's girlfriend and I are sitting with our eyes glazed over while they're having what we call 'geek speak', where they'll talk about video games or PCs," laughs Heather.
As for their future, it's open to change and growth. Still, plans are afoot: "It's hard to say what our future looks like because we never expected to be in the position we're in now. Tom and I have plans to adopt, so we've had conversations with our partners explaining that it is something we're interested in doing, because obviously it does affect them as well."
