Polyamorous relationships aren’t my cup of tea personally, but I have three friends that are in one together. Their relationship has been going on strong for 6+ years, and they actually have really healthy boundaries and communication. They’re also really happy… but it seems like a lot of people that jump into polyamorous/open relationships just want the excitement of them. They don’t want to deal with the boundary setting + and keeping communication open. They just want to have their fun until they get bored and want something else which is frustrating because it makes polyamory in general look like a joke. It can be something beautiful if done properly. There are just to many selfish people using it as an umbrella term to be scummy with relationships.
Ur genuinely so right. A lot of people just look at polyamory as a way to cheat with no consequences and don't earnestly care about how polyamory tends to work (which is still like any other healthy normal human relationship with communication and boundaries)
Relationships often face challenges, but there’s always a way to move forward. My marriage had its share of significant problems, but with the right help, my wife and I managed to resolve them and strengthen our relationship. Solutions are available if you’re willing to put in the effort and collaborate. Keep hope alive-answers are possible.
I’m struggling with serious issues in my relationship and can’t bear the thought of losing her. My love and desire to have her back in my life are immense. I’m willing to do whatever it takes and would be very grateful for any guidance or suggestions.
Saying farewell to someone you love dearly is never easy, but in my case, I had the assistance of a spiritual counselor who saved my marriage from falling apart. Her name is Suzanne Ann Walters.
I'll immediately search for her online. I appreciate it. I'm hopeful that adopting this strategy will also bring about positive changes for me; I miss her deeply.
They are. And what OP said about them looking down on people for not being in the LGBT community is very true, having met a lot of people like them. Being gay isn't enough for them. You have to make it your entire personality as well as act like a total fruitcake. They'll assume I'm straight and then say "well you don't look or act gay" when I correct them simply because I like to dress and act like a normal blue collar guy... Which I am. I also can't help but feel like the wealth factor plays into it too. These folks always come from rich to upper middle class backgrounds. Especially white collar lesbians, they all despise me for whatever reason which I'm fine with cause the whole community just seems so toxic honestly.
THIS S THE UPDATE FOR THE 1st STORY!!! Hey, thanks, I'm doing better-ish. I just didn't really feel like updating since we're in sort of a limbo - he came back the following morning, and since then, it's like we're both roommates that do their best to stay out of each other's way, but go to sleep in the same bed. It's weird. After my post, I got Alex's number from one of the friends I'm the closest with - I called them like fifteen times, all voice-mails, until they picked up on the fifteenth call. I told them to hand the phone over to John, and they had the nerve to say he wasn't there, so I did a little bluff and said "(friend's name) already told me he's there)", and it worked. I so wanted him to be anywhere else but at their ugly ass house with knickknacks lining the shelf, but once again, I'm the idiot for believing otherwise. I didn't let John get a word in and told him that he either comes home, or I'm packing his things and throwing them on the front lawn. He did, shockingly, show up the next morning. The wedding has been cancelled 'until further notice', we've been to a counselor and I have to admit, I wasn't easy to work with. I think the counselor was heavily biased for 'trying new things', so I just shut down and 'hmm'ed as a response to almost everything. Things haven't moved since. I want to talk, but I just don't know if it's even worth it, and John won't approach me himself since he's anxious about my response. I've felt like shit ever since he came back. Feels like I'm in two halves - one wants to talk and resolve this, the other wishes for nothing but for John to once again pack his things and leave to get some space at AA's. I talked with my mom and she said that every marriage is worth fighting for, and how can you expect every relationship to be smooth sailing? So, yeah. I want the situation to magically resolve itself however the universe seems fit because I can't move either way. Maybe I'll go to church after a decade lol
"let's open the relationship" is an absolute dealbreaker to me. random hookups i'm not okay with. And i'm not even fully monogamous. Me and my husband have agreed that if it happens, and we both really like someone, we could bring in a third. And we discussed this literal years before marriage

Unpopular opinion, polyamory seems to be a very selfish and self indulgent lifestyle. There is a reason why 90 of polyamory relationships fail.
To each their own.

They probably struck a cord, a minor.
Why do so many stories always have the phrase 'I lost it' in the title?!
Because OP lost it
