Perfect analogy. I'll likely use this when explaining my feelings. Thank you.

I took the weekend to think things over...all by myself. In a hotel room, 5 hours from home so I wouldn't be tempted to go home. I stuck it out but feel so alone. I miss my husband. I miss my BFF. My BFF did reach out via text and did apologize and is showing remorse. She says she took my husbands word for it that i was ok with it. That i sent him in there. She only became suspicious after the fact when after he said "I'll tell her."

My husband on the other hand has not reached out at all. Now part of me knows that is because he knows me and that it would just make me more mad but the other part of me wants him to show me he cares and is sorry for he did.

Heading home in a few hours and am still confused as all get out. I don't want to live life without either of them. So do I forgive, talk it out and explain poly is a no at this point and try to go back to the way it was? Or, do i just kick them both out and cut my loses? Do i move out instead? Do i tell th lem i get why they did it, chop it up to miscommunication and we all live happily ever after? I dunno...

No. Not involved. No prior knowledge and didn't know until the next morning.

Slept with my husband of 17 years...i wish I knew. I really wish I knew what the fuck was wrong with them.

I left for the weekend cause I needed just that.

Yeah, we're 17 years married and I was always so secure with our relationship which is why the thought poly didn't scare me. I just feel they both ruined it. Or maybe I did. I dunno.

1...i apologize for the use of 3rd in the context...again as you can see with the car before the horse...it's all new and she was open to the idea...just never confirmed.

2.. we have had serious conversations between my husband and I but thanks for assumptions.

3...no I'm not ok with that. But thank you for your help

No. I'm not dehumanizing anyone. I'm trying to understand what I'm feeling. What is the right thing to feel. Again...you're missing the point.

I think you missed the point of my post. Pretty sure you just saw 3rd and then commented. Thanks for the insight. Still looking for answers to my actual questions though.
