UPDATE: Sadly, the four of us are no longer together but we are all still “the players” in my writings so I won’t be taking this down.
Interesting blog. I agree with the sentiments. They are the sentiments that I began my relationship with. The trouble is that I feel like I fell so deeply in love with my partner that I no longer want anyone else and it really hurts me that he still does. Can a relationship remain healthy if only one partner is poly? His other relationship is non-sexual (because she couldn’t handle if) but he still loves her and they have a pretty intimate relationship. Any advice? I know I could go out and find someone else too but I haven’t got the energy and I don’t want to risk what my partner and I have.
Yes, I’ve heard of relationships that work and are healthy with one mono partner and one poly partner. I feel they can come some issues to face that a solely mono or solely poly one will not have. But that’s the thing about relationships in general. No two are really alike.
I’m curious. What changed your sentiments? I understand the love you have for your partner deepened but did your beliefs regarding poly change?
Intellectually I have no problem with being poly but emotinally it kills me. I have really tried to be ok with it out of love for partner but just can’t. Luckily she lives some Distance away and he has agreed not. To Go and see her on his own again. The three of us get on quite well together and I think she is happy for their relationship to be platonic. After me she is his best friend and they have known each other much longer.
Wow, that sounds complicated.
Wow… that’s uh… shit. I thought my world was complicated. I had to take a second to reread it to make sure I understood the connections going on. Can’t wait to start reading!
I hope you enjoy what you read. Sadly, the four of us are no longer together though. I’ll make that update to this page as well just to keep people informed.
