I (33f) have fallen in love with my poly FWB (36m). We've seen each other almost 5 months now. I'm new to poly while he practices solo poly and has a girlfriend.

I think we've both pushed the limits of "casual". He asked at the beginning if that was what I was looking for, and I said yes, because that's what I thought I wanted at the time.

Flash forward. We don't feel casual, and I've developed very strong feelings for and towards him. But now I'm also filled with anxiety of how to talk about this with him - the fear or rejection is quite strong.

Sorry for the ramble, I just needed somewhere to put all this - open to any and all advice. Ya girl needs some help!
