I've known I'm poly for years, that's not an issue for me at all, I just don't know how people have the time or energy for being with multiple people.

I've been with my gf for almost two years now and I'm very happy with her, but with my Monday-Friday 9-5:30, gym as well, and other stuff like needing to go shopping, I just have no time for anything else half the time (nor the energy).

My gf has just started dating a lovely girl and they're both having big NRE. They've both been messaging non-stop and have multiple several-hour calls when she's able to. Her gf's wife is jealous of just how much they talk (which is new to her).

I feel like I'm jealous of just how much less time I have than my gf to see people or do other things. I pretty commonly find myself just exhausted and bored at work/afterwards.

I wish I had four day work weeks and then it would be so much easier. Such a difficult world, eh?

I also do kinda feel a bit weird about how my gf wants a non-hierarchical relationship, but it seems there is some hierarchy with her gf and the gf's wife, and it feels like the time together between us doesn't mean that much now that she views us on the same level.

I'm really happy for my gf, but the emotions feel a bit difficult. Kinda hadn't realised some of this until I typed it out.
