Anybody feel more insecurity and jealously over their FWB dating others than their primary dating others?
I have compersion and more hearing about my husbandās dating. Conversely, hearing about my FWBās dating makes me feel insecure and jealous. I suppose this is likely because my husband and I are on more stable ground? Versus a relatively new and sometimes tumultuous, less stable situation?
FWB and I have become best friends, we use the L word, we have sleepovers, we share friends, and we spend 1-2 days a week together. We have awesome sexual chemistry and fun.
Things havenāt been bc perfect or easy though especially recently, as a matter of fact a number of you are going to stalk my post history and hate that Iām with FWB again/still, but I digress. I suppose the overarching uncertainty and doubt are contributing factors to the jealously and insecurity yes?
FWB is an otherwise unpartenered poly person. My fear is that heāll end up leaving me for monogamy. But recently, he went on an āawesome date with great conversation, common interests, sense of humor, and chemistryā ā and I couldnāt help but feel like āhey, Iām that person for you!!ā ā which I realize is bonkers. And better yet, he made a point to be like āsheās cool with poly, she knows about you, I told her youāre my bestieā etc. Which is sweet. I mean in an ideal world he slots in a cool primary thatās cool with his preexisting secondary and our relationship remains. And thatās what this could be, yet Iām still jealous.
Heās been bad with time management before, and bad with making me feel appreciated, though heās getting better with both. Though I guess if Iāve felt the scarcity of these things in previous when he was single, it only makes sense Iād be concerned those issues will be exacerbated when I have to share him with someone new heāll be enamored with, right?
Help?
