Cage-Free

A relationship mindset or status where emotional freedom, honesty, and personal growth are prioritized over control, secrecy, or performative connection. A cage-free person avoids manipulative dynamics, emotional entrapment, or cycles of withdrawal and reattachment. They seek open-hearted, non-coercive intimacy rooted in mutual respect, self-awareness, and clear boundaries.

We’re not labeling it yet, but it’s cage-free—just two people being honest, curious, and kind without pressure.
