Hi, I'm Max and I'm 34 and identify as non-binary. I was just dumped in my first poly relationship and am seeking a space to learn and hear other's perspectives on this style of relationship and see if I want to try again someday when my heart is a little less bruised up.
I hope I can look back on this time someday and feel like our relationship and what I learned from it was worth it and accept this ending, but right now I feel like I've lost a great love in my life and am unsure of all the ways I contributed to it. Sigh.
Maybe if you read a couple of the books on poly, you might get some insight. If you'd like to ask questions, you can start a thread in the Relationships section. If you'd like to vent about everything, you can start a blog in that section. Just use nicknames/pseudonyms for everyone you mention.
Greetings Max,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.
Sorry to hear about your recent breakup, that is hard to go through. Of course you are going to hurt and question yourself, that is just human nature in such a difficult time. If there's anything we can do to help, let us know. In the meantime, explore our threads and boards, and let us know of your thoughts and questions.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter"
