It hurts to see a lot of people now claiming their relationship wasn’t real or that they misled us just because lots of people don’t understand how non monogamy works (of course it’s not the same for everyone).

Firstly it was pretty obvious they weren’t sexually exclusive in my opinion, Gio’s statement didn’t surprise me at all. They never said they weren’t monogamous but they never said they were either and they’ve both certainly alluded to not being.

Secondly being non monogamous doesn’t mean you can’t be in a serious relationship with one person. They were clearly committed to each other on a personal and emotional level. They built a home and a family together. Them having sex with other people or even dating other people, consensually, doesn’t negate that the relationship between the two of them was deeper than any of those other relationships.

I just wish people wouldn’t make claims about a type of relationship they do not understand just because it doesn’t fit with their idea of how a relationship should look.

Also just want to say that Giorgia’s statement was so incredibly classy, mature and compassionate. She really saved Damiano’s ass and defended him despite him fucking up and her being angry with him. You don’t do that for someone you don’t care for. I’m not suggesting they are still in love, for whatever reason they decided their relationship has run it’s course, but she clearly cares for him and so people shouldn’t attack him in her defence. Likewise I would like to think he still cares for her too and so people shouldn’t attack her to defend him either. I do wish he’d made a better statement than the one he did because his feels so careless and disrespectful compared to Giorgia’s, but everyone copes in different ways and people are entitled to make mistakes especially in such difficult circumstances.
