My boyfriend is poly and I need advice

I have never met anybody necessarily have a poly relationship most the time it’s just people with avoiding attachment looking to fill the void they feel inside because they can’t get close to people. Either by choice or due to trauma.

Say break it off now

That’s 100% on you! You started dating a man that you clearly knew dates around and your pissed off about it? What did you expect lol?He’s a loser you should have known better from the get go so I have zero sympathy for you.

Just leave him if that’s not what you want . Spill your heart out to him and go from there.

If he’s not going to respect you on this then you need to leave him. Just because he’s poly doesn’t mean he gets to date other people whenever he wants. He needs to respect whoever he’s in a relationship with.

you don’t need some one like him

You shouldn’t have started a relationship with someone who is poly if you are not completely comfortable with it as it will only cause problems. However he should still be be respectful of how you are feeling too, being poly doesn’t just allow you to date someone anytime you want while already with someone

I’d say at this point, you want to find someone who respects your boundaries and vise versa.

I never understand why someone who isn’t in the poly lifestyle would date someone who is. It’s a disaster waiting to happen. Leave girl you can’t be what he needs and he can’t be what you need.

If you can’t live with his lifestyle then get out of the relationship. You knew beforehand so leave or stay.

This is not the way a loving relationship works. If you want more from a relationship, you’re barking up the wrong tree here. Time to move on. Find the love you deserve.

Poly individuals in relationships with monogamous individuals is common and there’s support groups for it. But it’s also based on trust, respect, and boundaries. It seems like he just doesn’t care or you’ve not expressed deeply your concerns to where he hears you.

Try posting to this group for more advice.

If your not up for being poly please tell him. Be honest. If you need more attention BE HONEST and tell him.

Be honest with your feelings. It’s ok to end a relationship. Especially if you can’t handle the way things are.

Knowing he was poly from the beginning and accepting it until he decided to bring one into the relationship isn’t fair to him. But it’s not fair to you if you’re uncomfortable with it now that it’s real.

I would take my child & dip :luggage::blue_car: Your child doesn’t need to be exposed to something that even makes you feel uncomfortable.

Poly is not for you. My Ex husband decided he could love multiple ppl at the same time. It ended in divorce after I had dinner with the first woman he wanted to date.

Good luck and I’ll be praying for you!

That’s already toxic. That girl doesn’t need to be threatening you either, if you’re not his real gf then neither is she, tf?? You need love and support, not to be seen as an option.

I’d reccomend joining mono+poly support groups so that you can get feedback from people who have actually practiced polyamory, many have long term experience. I’d also strongly suggest reading a few books about the topic. I recommend the Jealousy Handbook for those either starting or thinking of starting polyamory. Aside from your bf what other people do you have as a support system? You’re lonely, besides a partner who else do you spend time with? Have you gone to grief counseling yet? Talked to a therapist to unpack the toxic parent issue? Too often people put too many expectations on thier parnters to meet every need they have. That’s simply unrealistic and not fair. We are solely responsible for our own happiness, whatever it may look like.

If you can’t handle being with a person that is polyamorous then you need to be honest with him and walk away. Do not ask them to change because that’s not fair to their personal beliefs

You clearly aren’t comfortable with a poly relationship as I don’t think most people are. You should probably end it now.

Are you both poly? Or are you mono?

Poly is an excuse to sleep with multiple people with permission. Just have a fuck buddy and be single. Same damn thing!!!

There is no betrayal he was upfront about how he feels and sees a relationship. You guys may have different visions and that is perfectly okay. Be true to yourself

He is a male friend with benefits. He is not Your man. You think that you are in a relationship, he knows that he is not! Be honest with yourself.

If your not both poly when entering the relationship then this was bound to happen. Not great for you and not for the child you brought into the relationship to witness as “normal”. If it’s your home, he can leave and stay with the “new” chick and you can go back to life as it was beforehand, lick your wounds and move on. Sorry this has happened.

Get far away from him.

Being “poly” is cool until it’s not and you get your feelings hurt. IMO, either you’re in a relationship or you’re not.

It means he’s a Whoremonger😁
