I've been with my partner for almost two years now. We've always had an open relationship and we have talked a lot about limits to make sure that neither of us gets unconfortable. During these discusions I doubted if he getting romantic relationships with other people people would be acceptable and if it would make me jelous. I'm not a jelous person, but romantic relationship with thirds was something I didn't know how I would react to.

Recently, we had some experiences involving other people and, even though it didn't end with my partner getting another girlfriend, it was, for me, the confirmation I needed. I am polyamorous. Seing him hug and kiss another girl, being nice to her, acting as if they liked each other... It all made me so happy. I am so happy to see the love of my life conect in such a deep way with other people. Love is such a wonderfull feeling that I would feel horrible gatekeeping it.

Now I am accepting the fact that I am polyamorous. Living in a deeply monogamous society, it has been hard, and I am not completely "out of the closet", but now that I know how I am and how I feel I wont be feeling anxious anymore. I wont overthink anymore. I have been able to ignore all the hate and all the negative comments about polyamory and non-monogamy.

And you can't imagine how happy I am.

For any poly girl/guy out there: you are valid. Your feelings are valid. Live your love the way you need.
