I’m scared that I’m trapping my partner in our relationship
Post Body

My partner (m23) and I (m23) have been together for over two years, I feel really happy with him and really really grateful to have him in my life - i love him to absolute bits! We’ve spoken a good bit about polyamory and exploring opening up our relationship, I think I need more time to process things before I’m fully comfortable but he feels ready right now.

Recently we were at a party with some friends, we all got pretty fucked up and had this kissing party thing lol. A mutual friend who we both have said we have a crush on was involved also, but it felt like, really intense and passionate between my partner and this person, whereas I was sort of sat more to the side and felt really left out, (ie I’d get a quick 5 second kiss from my partner, and then they’d go back to kissing each other passionately for another 3 minutes while I just kinda watched and tried and failed to get in on it)

Anyway, ever since then I’ve been noticing that they have a really strong vibe together - when it’s the 3 of us at any place, it’s more me and them than anything else. And thinking retrospectively, I think they’ve had this vibe for a long time, and I’ve always felt a bit left out when the 3 of us are together. I’m really scared that my partner has fallen out of love with me. That he’s sick of me. That he’s more attracted to this other person and that I am holding him back. I have ocd and it’s really latched itself onto this whole situation. For example, i keep getting these overwhelming intrusive thoughts whenever we kiss that he’d much rather be kissing her. It feels really horrible to even be thinking any of this and I feel terrible. But I just need some help with this basically, and some advice please 💕🥲

Talk to him, his word will feel best then ours. It's ok to feel like this I do to, it's a kind of unselfish love, its honorable believe me. There is two in this relationship though and you deserve to be happy too, also this can just be honeymoon or puppy love effect. three people is hard to keep busy with only kissing also so gotta understand that. Maybe add a 4th or keep yourself busy but at the end of the day you got him.
