Scott Debates Scott: Can Love & Commitment Survive Radical Freedom?

Can a relationship thrive without rules?

Or does lasting love require some limits?

In this candid and thought-provoking episode, Scott sits down with one of his personal training clients (also named Scott) for a deep dive into one of the most uncomfortable questions in modern relationship philosophy: Are some imposed boundaries necessary to preserve long-term commitment?

Centering mostly around Wild Love Theory’s radical premise—that maximal happiness requires maximal freedom—the conversation challenges traditional ideas about relational doubt, how much freedom is too much and staying together “no matter what.”

Together, they explore:

• How much relational freedom is optimal

• If boundary-free love is liberating or potentially reckless

• How cultural norms about divorce shape our definitions of commitment

• The emotional trade-offs between safety and sovereignty

• Why ENM spaces often avoid talking about relational maintenance

Whether you’re in a long-term monogamous marriage or navigating ethical non-monogamy, this episode asks the question most couples never dare say aloud:

Can you be truly free—and still choose to stay?
