Let me just start this off with my backstory. Husband and I have been together for 6 years married for 5. When we got together we had other partners so poly isn't new to me. We went mono for a few years until he met this guy and started having feelings for him. I decided to open our relationship back up so he could pursue this person cuz it was starting to affect my husband horribly that he couldn't act on his love for this person. I also had another person from my past that I missed and wanted to reconnect with. That person has since ghosted me and I'm all alone.
I guess what I'm asking for is where do you go to meet poly people or people who are at least cool with the poly relationship dynamic? I'm quickly finding out that the dating scene is a hot fucking mess and everyone hears open relationship and just thinks oh so she's a slut and just wants sex. I'm so sick of coming up against this same wall again and again. Oh and also of spending days/weeks getting to know someone just for them to ghost me come meet up day. What do you guys do to keep your mind off the loneliness when your partners are with their other partners? I'm literally about to give up even looking for my other person and just be miserable while hubby is away with his bf.
And yes my husband is aware of how I'm feeling and he does everything in his power to make me feel loved and special before he goes to his partners house so that isn't the issue it's all in my head so to say.
