Hi everyone,
My name is Kiara (using an alias), and I’m a monogamous partner navigating life with my polyamorous wife, Ali (also an alias). We’ve been together for 16 years and, until a few years ago, were incredibly happy. I still love her deeply, but the past three years have been a challenging journey as I’ve tried to understand and adapt to polyamory.
I grew up as a military kid, which made me independent and adaptable, but I also tend to leave situations that feel unbalanced or emotionally draining. Despite these challenges, I’m committed to my marriage and want to learn how to navigate these dynamics without losing myself in the process.
I’ve read Polysecure and recognize my own attachment struggles, but I often feel overwhelmed by anger, confusion, and the difficulty of reconciling my monogamous mindset with her poly needs. I’m hoping this community can help me figure out how to move forward in a way that works for both of us.
Thank you for letting me share and learn from your experiences.
