I'm sorry you are struggling. We're here to help.

Compersion is a newish word meaning you are happy because your partner is happy (specifically when they are happily on a date with another partner).

Poly Relationships Corner is generally your best bet, you get the most responses from the widest range of people. General Poly Discussions is also a good place to post.

How long new / long have you been on this new journey ? Stumbled into how ?

And is the “ husband 1” moniker/ status something you just used here because you ran out of ideas for usernames or does the bf enjoy husband 2 status ?
