Sammy McNamee spoke about her experiences with a FIFO relationship and being the partner at home.
We chat about;
- How challenging it can be for both people in a FIFO relationship.
- boundaries Sammy wishes she had in place when it eventuated into a FIFO relationship but applies to all.
- What she learned from this relationship
- the conversations she wishes she had with her partner.
- reflections that she has had with herself.
- Some of the conversations she had after the relationship ended with her friends.
- The importance of communication, acknowledgment, and expectations from being a FIFO partner
- advice to her younger self.
Finding that FIFO was a blessing to help Sammy see that it was not meant to be.
Another wonderfully vulnerable and open conversation.
