Hello MorningTwilight. I was in a similar situation as you, except for the fact that I was deciding to tell my boyfriend of 2 years. Not twenty. He and I shared a home, finances, responsibilities, you name it. We were also very in love. And I was also falling for another man. I made the...

Oh cool, Jestem Polska dziewczyna! Jak się masz? And yeah, like the folks in here have been saying. The fears you're having aren't irrational. Your insecurities aren't irrational. First and foremost, never EVER feel guilty for having a feeling. No matter what you're feeling, its ok to FEEL...

Aww *hugs* I'm so sorry to hear about your frustration. Sometimes the hardest part is when it's in our own nature to open up and talk about everything, but it's just not for our partners. Trust me, I've got two boys who won't offer very much in terms of their feelings or thoughts on the...

Hmm... Forewarning, I don't have children and am so not in that stage in my life. But, from what I understand about the way young ones handle family situations like this, chances are they're thinking about what this means for them. Try to put yourself in their spot. Your son will probably...

It does indeed exist. I'm in a relationship with my long term boyfriend who is monogamous (meaning he is happy to be romantically involved with only me), and he believes he'll feel this way for the foreseeable future. However, he does not impose that kind of model upon me. He accepts that that...

I was referring to using advice like "You'll get over it when its over", as being a constructive way to face what's happening at this moment. Not the relationships itself. I benefit a lot from the relationship as a whole.

I'm quite fine with accepting the fact that we may not always love one another romantically, and that our relationship might move away from what it is now. My concern is with the idea that we'll still love each other, but that we won't be allowed to express it, when I've worked so hard for that...

I'll try to make this brief. I've recently opened my love life up to polyamory, and I entirely identify with the ideals it promotes, and the ability to allow our relationships to be just as they are, without boxing them up or saying always or never. I've begun dating T, long distance. He does...
