So my wife and I have been poly for over a decade, and lately I've decided that mono is more my speed. I just don't have the bandwidth for multiple partners. I still encourage her to continue with her long term partner though. He's been nothing but good to her, and I'm glad that they can be together.

The only thing I struggle with is loneliness on weekends that he visits. He comes up from out of town once a month, and stays Thurs night to mid day Sunday. I generally keep busy, but near the end of each day, I struggle. I lose motivation to do anything but sit on the couch or go to bed early (and fail to fall asleep).

I'd really just like someone to hang out with, but I don't have any people left in my life that I consider real friends that understand poly. For now, I'm just getting by. I feel like I'm wasting good weekends that I could be doing things that I enjoy. It's just hard to go out and do things solo.
