been in a poly throuple for about 6 months, and it’s been one of the most healthy and communicative relationships i’ve ever experienced. we’ve had ups and downs navigating our new dynamic for sure, but all in all i’ve been very happy.
Two things though have come up recently that i need some guidance on. First, i find myself worried about one of my partners developing feelings for someone outside of our throuple. i don’t know why this intimidates me so much, since i have no issues with him having feelings for our other boyfriend.
Second, *i’ve* started developing feelings for another person outside of our relationship. we’ve been bonding a lot over a common life situation and i find him attractive and really feel like we’re a good match. I don’t want to act on these feelings, but we had a call the other night and afterwards just found myself saying “shit”, cause i definitely like him as more than a friend.
my life in general has been a lot lately. family drama and chaos and all sorts of things have me feeling weird. The NRE from the start of my throuple has started to wear off and i worry that im chasing that feeling by falling for someone new.
i know that communication is so important, and that i should probably talk to both of my partners about these feelings, but i worry so much about how they’d react. any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
