    Partner with low self-esteem worshipping some jerk

    Well she says herself that he's not great in bed, but obviously she still feels the draw to sleep with him.

As I matured, I gradually managed to restore the balance so that my wife would...

    Partner with low self-esteem worshipping some jerk

    This is my first message on the forum. It may not seem as poly per se, but I am pretty sure that monogamous people would give me advice which would not really apply.
