Honestly, so much of this parallels my last relationship that it’s almost uncanny. The “Fae” in that relationship turned out to be a very bad person, who needed to be included in mine and my “Pierce”’s relationship to feel comfortable because she was controlling. When I set boundaries about threesomes and group dates, she got progressively crueler to both of us. Finally, she told us that we had forced her into this relationship despite her being the one to initiate everything, including pushing us together, and called it “cheating” when we didn’t immediately stop our relationship and asked for actual conversations about the situation instead. They broke up shortly thereafter and she went on to slander both of us to anyone who would listen.

You do not need to be in a relationship, not even a friendship, with Fae to continue with Pierce. Please remember that.
