I have been with my anchor partner for about a year and am new to nonmonogamy. My partner was in an open relationship years ago that didn’t work out, so this world isn’t completely new to him.

We opened up our relationship in September and he has had good fortune finding partners while I have not been looking/low energy to jump in due to moving, adjusting, etc. I’ve started putting my feet in the water but am still wiggly about it.

We have excellent conversations and have super open, honest communication and I feel tremendously seen and loved by him. We have a firm understanding in our why’s, boundaries, rules of engagement, etc and I am struggling to adjust to the new mindset.

I’ve spoken about this with him and shared the question “how do I feel like I’m enough in this setup?” And he replied “the only thing that makes you not enough is that you’re one person.” and assured me of how he feels about me and how he connects with me differently than other partners.
We see each other almost everyday of the week and he sees another person every week or so and another person he’s seen twice over 4 months. The frequency isn’t rampant but it’s felt like a lot for my newbie self.

All of this being said, does anyone have guidance or wisdom with this concept of being enough in this context of nonmonogamy?
