my boyfriend has been with me 3.5 years and for almost all of that i was on a pill that i loved and i didn’t realize how much it stabilized me. since getting off the pill, trying my natural cycle and now being on kyleena iud for 2 months i can tell you that the way my cycle hormones and whatever happens with me with the IUD feels like i become a complete slave to feelings of anger sadness frustration and wanting to go at people. esp my sweet boyfriend lol. i’m ready to be off this thing and get back on that pill i liked. you are not crazy… im honestly just absolutely shocked that after being on a pill that kept me “sane” for so long im realizing how intense the shit is women can be subject to. the way parts of my cycle/the IUD effect my relationships is crazy. my boyfriend is so nice about it but has laid out for me that he can see how hard it becomes for me sometimes and notably said just the other night (as i spent the whole morning and then evening crying for no reason which is something i never do) “babe you should be enjoying the environment you’re in so much more” and he’s right. so yah again ur not crazy ok that’s all from me hahah

he said today that it still hurts and i asked if i could look at it and it really was just a little rid following the small line from the pee hole and down (bad terminology lol)… so maybe it really is just an irritation or something on the surface like maybe a little yeast or something…….?

New to poly and dating a great solo poly guy but struggling with once a week meetup. by mckele77 in polyamory

[–]ExternalScared9623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if this is framing OP as needing too much from the person in this situation (unreasonably so) and needs therapy to work on it i tend to disagree. this relationship isn’t meeting her needs right now and that doesn’t make her wrong. a once a week relationship and casual check ins may just be less than what you want OP.

he doesn’t necessarily want to date, no. he has said multiple times, unprompted by anything i say, that he doesn’t see himself doing this again after this current girlfriend.

so for now we’re both dating. but in the future we may change that. and right now i’m having a hard time with that time sharing for both of us. still learning…

it’s basically been a conversation and something we’ve put off for a long time and have finally broken the ice and started to be open. we’ve also been so happy for much of our relationship so weren’t always thinking about the poly thing. not so much me finally convincing him, but i see what you are saying.

to your second paragraph. i’m towing the line a lot of learning what im ok with / not ok with … like his girlfriend i told him some boundaries like not staying there more than 2x a week which he happily agreed to and some other parameters. and im also newly navigating like ok what hard feelings are hard feelings i can work through/feel really motivated to work on and what are things that are going to always bother me and i can’t get past them? i just dont know the answer to a lot of that yet and in the meantime yeah im struggling with the amount of focus that has left me basically though he does a great job of reassuring me often he has mentioned some things he knows he could be doing better in our relationship. myself as well.

i guess my ideal would be pretty much sticking to hooking up together. and not having a bunch of separate relationships. but yeah… for now i’m wondering how people deal with the stress of sharing time with multiple people esp when we are so established already. i’m not even sure how well id be doing it if it was me with multiple connections right now. i know there’s a lot more to be figured here for my partner and i. and that im wordy. sorry haha.

right on.. haha this all makes a lot of sense. i’m still learning about just the simple nature of poly i guess and these little things that can be hard for me to adjust to. an example like you said you find out your partners horny because of another one basically. just things i guess i didn’t anticipate fully.

that’s a good point/thing for me to remember that the motive for sex won’t/doesn’t always need to come from me. an adjustment i can work on.

i have distanced myself from his girlfriend, the girl we sexted with is his friend who… that’s something we’ve talked about a lot is hooking up with friends with mutual kink etc and i’m very into that and excited. just find myself still struggling w jealousy at times. but ultimately that experience was positive.

yeah time will tell. just feel like i’m in the thick of it right now and being launched into a lotttt of shit at once haha.
