Makes sense to me, even if it's irrational. When I told him during the initial fight that I knew he was hurting, he kept insisting he wasn't. That's very frustrating to work with. I'll wait. I do worry about LDR and know we need to have a real conversation about that, but I guess we can't...

The Open Relationship and Poly concepts in House of Cards are part of what sparked a conversation about it in my own relationship. I've never said this about a TV show before, but I feel like it kind of "opened the floodgates" for me, as it were.

Just wanted to say that despite the obtuse and disrespectful nature of the OP, responses in this thread have been very valuable information. Such eloquent insights!

Wow, thank you everyone for the great responses. What a supportive, interesting community! GalaGirl and Tinwen, you are right that I have not had a chance to explore my own sexuality. Although I don't necessarily feel stifled, I have often felt lonely and confused. I live in a very large city...

I'm new, obviously. I've been reading a lot of threads to try to answer my own questions and sort out my thoughts, but I'm still a bit frustrated with my situation. I identify a lot with the Original Poster here, but didn't want to hijack a thread...
