Hi all, It's been a rough few months for me. My partner's polyamory is far more active than mine. I honestly don't really have it in my to date at the moment, it's been several years of this! I've tried and tried, but it's not natural for me right now. I have no expectation of my partner not dating just because I can't/don't want to. I'm carrying a lot of shame and guilt around not being poly enough. Around not really needing or wanting another partner! I'm interested in exploring more casual sexual openness I think, but not intensely. Anyone else been here for over a year? How do you deal with it? Has anyone got any affirmation for my surrounding my position in the community?!
Don't feel like you're not "poly" enough just because you don't feel like dating right now. I just recently re-entered the dating pool after about 5 years. For personal health reasons and then the pandemic, it just wasn't something I was interested in for awhile. And then slowly I started to realize I had the energy, motivation, and space in my life for someone else and decided to start putting myself out there again. If someone had asked, I would have still identified myself as poly, I just only had one partner at the time.
