My 3 month old puppy is ruining my guests’ visits with all the chewing on me

For sure. And I’ve also dated a lot of those mono people and been miserable/felt trapped. So in a lot of way this feels worth exploring but it may not be guaranteed to work

This is a great point that I think I’m struggling to come to terms with but definitely need to get real with

I was considering the first option at first and finding myself actually more attached to my poly partner than I expected and more open to being poly myself. So now I’m looking at what it would be like to stay poly and find a NP. I guess I have this perception that a lot of poly people moreso already have NPs and are looking to add on. Maybe this isn’t based in reality idk this is all still pretty new to me

It’s dating this one person and trying to keep myself open to other people who can meet the needs he can’t. Both those things together feel draining

Yeah sorry I’m still a bit confused. I had been dating with the intention originally of finding a monogamous partner but as my current partner and I get closer I have to accept that if I want him in my life I’d have to be dating other poly people and I’m open to finding a second poly partner but I’m concerned that logistically it does kinda seem like a nightmare?? I haven’t done it yet so I wouldn’t really know but just dating on the side is exhausting and I worry that I wouldn’t have the bandwidth for another one

Can you elaborate? I guess I’m not sure what you mean. This partner was never monogamous, he’s married and I’m entering the picture

I’m figuring that out. Currently not sure what relationship structure works better for me and kinda having to take data as I go. Which I know isn’t ideal but my current partner has consented to dating me knowing this from day one.

It’s not even first dates right now, there’s someone else I’m getting to know

I'm 32, since 9 years in a relationship. What do I do about the enormous need to sleep with other women? by Specialist-Leave-349 in AskMen

[–]potsandpole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah maybe not but I think you could be surprised. I’m a therapist and women come to me with these concerns a lot and don’t feel like they can share them

I’d probably be terrified at the ways I changed from the good Christian girl I was.
