Wife wants to experience compersion but struggles with abandonment
Post Body

M/F couple married 10. Open/ENM 3.5. Wife has had a growing emotional/physical relationship with a M for 7 months. I pretty easily experienced compersion and have become their biggest cheerleader. Lots of communication, very few issues there. When they arise we discuss and work through it. I Love seeing this side of her and it has brought us so much closer and actually compounded our love and grace and appreciation for each other. While Iโ€™ve had a few un emotional flings. I just recently started dating and getting more serious and committed with another lady. Wife is supportive but has severe abandonment issues and gets pretty anxious as she navigates her emotions. I have been very patient as has my secondary (no offense I just donโ€™t know all the terms). Wife really wants to and has a strong desire to experience that same level of compersion for us. They have texted and both want to meet each other and I am supportive, as they will have lunch this week and nobody has any issues with it. My question is, what are things I can do to help my wife navigate these emotions?

Comments

It would seem her relationship with her boyfriend would serve as a model.

Is it possible her fears may actually be stoked by the emotional/sexual intensity she feels for her boyfriend? She may project that if you feel that strongly for your girlfriend it would be frightening?
