I’m seeing someone causally who has been historically monogamous but after some bad relationship luck does not want to be responsible for someone else. Cool. Understood. Accepted. Sometimes they mention how they wanna be poly or ENM with me as like their primary partner but I don’t think they realize that to be poly or enm they need to communicate more and are now responsible for the feelings of even more people.

I’ve always been monogamous and even when I’ve had more causal relationships. I am not a great rotational dater but I do understand and agree with that 1 person can not be your entire universe and can’t give you everything you need but I am not sure how to help my emotions align with my thoughts. Sometimes just the idea of them with someone else makes me jealous. How can I navigate this in a healthy way without coming to resent this person I care about? I want to support them and I understand that this style of relationship might not be right for me but if they are serious about it… I feel like I should be open to it.
