Hey there everyone just kind of needing some helpful advice/words of encouragement right now. I am 30(M) currently engaged to my partner of 3 years 46(M) and we have begun discussing open up our relationship a bit. I recently began talking to a guy and instantly had a connection he is 43(M) and he and his partner 35ish(M) are married and open. We have been talking basically nonstop for the last week until last night I got a text from him that said T (his partner) was upset about something and he needed to go check on him.

A few hours later E (Daddy) texted me and said that he needed to spend sometime with T and that he would text me later when he got to work and I was like ok no biggie I understand. Then about an hour after that I get a text from him saying that he felt like we needed to slow things down and work more so on getting to know each other as friends. He called in sick to work and said that he would check in with me this morning and that he needed to get some sleep.

I patiently waited to hear back from him and only texted him once just to make sure he was ok because he seemed to be in a dark place. We texted a bit this afternoon and he reassured me that I did nothing wrong and that he had no plans of ending things with me. I just am currently having trouble dealing with feeling that I have done something wrong.
