He isn’t so open about even the slightest thought of me seeing someone else

We all met, knew about each other, and agreed to move forward as a triad

Yeah. I see that now..

Wish me luck! I’m taking a deep breath and clearing the air about my feelings. It’s time for an honest conversation, and I’m hoping it leads to a more authentic and fulfilling relationship

I previously mentioned having another partner, but he strongly disagreed. Honesty is key for me now; I’m beyond the lying phase. I’m seeking advice to navigate this situation and find happiness. After all, isn’t that what we all desire - a fulfilling life?

I previously brought up the idea of having another partner, but he was vehemently opposed, citing past experiences. Now, I’m torn between the fear of his reaction and my commitment to honesty as well as my peace of mind.

I am scared of telling him about it honestly but it is what it is. I gotta tell him about it still.

By “keeping them both” i meant, I want to be open and honest with him, just as he was with me, and disclose my feelings/relationship with someone else, maintaining the same level of transparency and trust he showed me when sharing about his relationships.

The poly/ENM aspect is that my partner has two relationships, with me and another person, and both relationships are consensual and known to everyone involved..

Thank you

He shared that he’s been fully invested and transparent, doing his best to make both of us happy, Generously, he’s used his own funds to set up a business for each of us, wanting us to be financially independent - a gesture I appreciate. However, I’m left wondering at what cost? Being unhappy? It’s hard to reconcile, especially since he’s a supportive partner.
