New partner (M, 24) is newer to poly, and I’m (MTF, 24) worried I’ll be discarded for their other partner (F, 21)
I (mtf, 24) having been seeing Ryan (M, 24) for a couple months now. We both live in a large city and met on hinge but happen to originally be from the same hometown (happens to be close with a childhood friend as well). Each time we’ve hung out it’s been amazing, and I’ve had zero doubts he likes me.
The first time we went out we literally went to a rave / sex party, did molly; and fucked in the bathroom. He quite literally matched my freak
I’ve met / have gone out with his friends multiple times (who all have let me know they love me a lot / get their stamp of approval) and he’s expressed wanting to meet / go out with mine.
After the holidays we actually drove back from our hometown to the city we live in currently (4hr drive). This is when he let me know about Maya (F, 21) the other girl he see’s (I sorta knew about her he post a text thread between them on his close friends Insta story). I asked if he felt like it was moving a more serious direction. He instantly said “not really, unless maybe she could do poly.” He’s been clear to me that he knows he cannot be monogamous. It sounds like she only expressed potential in being ENM when she saw / heard he wanted to be. I also asked if he’d date me and he instantly said yes and then held my hand. Things felt really warm / good
I also see someone else, Mike (M, 26) but know I’d like to be more primary with Ryan. I’ve noticed I’m a bit jealous though. I’ve been poly for 3 years but this is all new to Ryan. I have a feeling / worry he likes this younger girl more and is in denial about not wanting to escalate more seriously. I usually feel really confident but I’ve noticed increasing insecurity. I feel she is more attractive, she’s cisgender and has a huge social media presence - she’s even posted a pic of him (just his jeans / tagging him) and he has commented on some of her recent pics (I don’t post to be fair).
Only recently have I grown more worried. My concern is we haven’t texted in a week (though he’s interacted with me on social media everyday, commenting/ liking story posts etc. enthusiastically). I’ve had a strong desire to end it though bc I feel like this means he’s not that interested. He’s double texted me so I know I could him (I was last to text) but my pride is getting in the way. Should I wait on him or reach out and try and hangout again / talk about things?
