How do I tell my partner how I'm feeling without making him feel like he has to break up with his other partner?
Post Body

I've been feeling really depressed since my husband started a relationship with someone else. Background; my husband and I have been together for 6 years married for 5. We started out poly went mono for a few years and opened back up a few months ago. He had someone he was falling for and I had someone I missed that I was dating when we(husband and I) first met so we opened back up and started doing our thing. I ended up getting stood up and ghosted after a month or so of seeing my previous partner (who I have about 10 years of history with mind you) so I blocked him and moved on. The dating scene is a hot mess and I'm having a hard time finding a new partner. That's not why I'm here tho. It just hit me tonight that the reason I'm having a hard time and have been really depressed lately is that I'm feeling like I'm just not enough for my husband. I literally bring nothing unique to the table from his other partner. Me and his other partner are so alike it's crazy. I'm so scared I'm going to lose him and I don't know what to do. At the same time I feel like I can't say any of this to him without making him feel like absolute crap and like he has to leave his other partner which I don't want at all. I actually quite like his partner and we hang out regularly and i don't want to see his partner hurt.
