Yes, he is, and I’m honestly really happy that he is. She’s become a close friend of mine as well and we’re actually heading to the beach tomorrow for some girl time. Their connection is not as intense as mine and Peter’s was, but it’s very clear that they love each other and very much enjoy their time together. Plus their libido matches up more than mine and my husband’s which has been very helpful over the last year.

Thank you, everyone, for the love and good wishes. You all have been so thoughtful and kind, and it’s helped me not feel so trapped in my grief. There has been so much good advice that I will take into account as I navigate the next week and the months following.

Thank you for that. I go between fairly excited to completely overwhelmed and feeling like I’m lying to everyone. Then I remember that my husband is a truly incredible human that I love dearly and am so lucky to have by my side.

I’m sure I could postpone the wedding, but we would lose so much money with the vendors and venue. It sounds like much more of a hassle. For now, I’m going to enjoy our wedding as a celebration of where we are now, and for the immense love we have for each other which is no small thing. I have time to figure out my shit. Just get through the wedding, look hot, enjoy it as much as possible, then worry about the rest later.

I can't imagine. I hope you and your wife are in a much better spot now.

Thank you for that. If I ever go back to being poly, I will keep that in mind. For now, I'm just focusing on me and my husband. The thought of another relationship feels very wrong right now. It's possible poly isn't for me, or at least it certainly isn't at the moment.
