    other girlfriend - boundaries?

    Well I did some thinking on why it bothered me before I talked to him and I think it was because we hardly have time alone at all. So I guess I did want to spend more time with him without anybody else around and we hadn't been doing that much lately. When we are alone, it's usually only long...

    other girlfriend - boundaries?

    I suppose that it bothers me because when it's both of us cuddling with him at the same time, I feel like I'm more of a groupie than a girlfriend and that our intimacy is devalued. That she's intruding on a special moment between us and has no right to do that. Those are just my very base...

    other girlfriend - boundaries?

    Ah! Sorry for the extra post. I don't know how relevant anything I say is so I guess it's just another way for me to get my thoughts in order. Another reason I'm rather averse to direct confrontation is guilt. Logically I know there's not reason for me to feel guilty but I think emotions...

    other girlfriend - boundaries?

    Well a while ago I had this problem with them flirting heavily in front of me and he said he wouldn't do that anymore and would talk to her about it. Since he'd never had a second girl around it was difficult for him to find a "balance" when we were together, but when he flirted with her it was...

    other girlfriend - boundaries?

    I've posted here once before in the relatively early stages of my current poly relationship and really appreciated the advice I got from everyone. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year now and since then we've done a lot of communicating whenever something bothered me and I...

    jealous monoamorous person dating a polyamorous person-- don't want him to compromise

    Well the general consensus seems to be to talk to him honestly. Easier said than done. Red, you are right about the resentment building up. I can already tell it's affecting my feelings toward him. I will try broaching the topic when I see him this weekend. Wish me luck. In response to your...

    jealous monoamorous person dating a polyamorous person-- don't want him to compromise

    Anne, I agree with you. One of my bad tendencies is to imagine the worst of things. Like I said, she felt neglected that one time, until they had some PDA, and I don't want to create resentment. It's probably not good if I make them feel like they have to walk on eggshells around me. I guess...

    jealous monoamorous person dating a polyamorous person-- don't want him to compromise

    Well, I do like his friends, but am not actually close enough to spend time with them individually. He said that he's never liked a girl enough to introduce her to them, so I felt touched that he did. I also see spending time with them as another way to spend time with him. I do appreciate being...

    jealous monoamorous person dating a polyamorous person-- don't want him to compromise

    Hi. I just made this account today. I've gone through some threads on mono/poly relationships that already have been very helpful to me in understanding my current boyfriend's other relationship. I'm mono, as far as my experience goes. My boyfriend is poly. We've been dating about four months...
