Hi, I am new to this forum as well as to polyamory so would welcome any comments/advice!
My question is about how others deal with feelings after spending time with their poly partner. I have been in a relationship with a poly man who has another girlfriend and who also ocassionally goes on dates with other women. One of the things I find hard is how I feel after spending a really enjoyable few days with him and then having to say goodbye. I start to wonder what he is doing, who he must be with, why can't see him for longer etc. etc.
I suspect that because we both have children and time is limited due to study/work commitments as well as caring for the kids, the time spent together is intense and always memorable. It's hard to suddenly then switch from these expereinces to the more mundane everyday tasks until our next meet up which can sometimes be a week or more.
Sorry to go on, but I am trying to explain myself as I would really welcome other's experiences and views on how others deal with such things.
thank you
