Myself (27M) and my now ex-partners (both 32M) have ended our relationship after 5 months of dating for practical reasons, and there’s still a lot of love between us.

Background: I’ll call them Partner A and Partner B, have been married for 8 years and had never entertained polyamory before meeting me, and neither had I prior to meeting them. So after 8 years of marriage, I joined their relationship and the three of us became a unit - with them remaining married primary partners and I their boyfriend.

I met Partner A first and after a bit of unintentional dating I suppose I was introduced to Partner B, where then we all really clicked and decided to take it one step further and start dating as a unit. So my connection with Partner A had always been a touch stronger - though I still did fall madly in love with them both. There was nothing that anyone did wrong and the relationship ended because Partner B really just realised that any form of polyamory isn’t for him, and these feelings of jealousy over Partner A and I had really begun to build. As well as Partner B saying that he wouldn’t be able to give to me like a marriage/commitment ceremony or kids which is something that I wanted. So there’s no hard feelings in why the relationship ended to either one of them - it’s just really hard because they really were the perfect boyfriends, and helped me heal a lot of wounds that my abusive ex had left me with.

My question though, because the time spent with them was so wonderful, they treated me so well and made me feel so loved - how are we going to be able to navigate a relationship as friends in the future which we’ve all said is something we really want, but how can you stay friends with an ex who treated you perfectly and helped you so much, without potentially developing feelings of resentment, or adversely falling back in/continuing to be in love with them?

If anyone’s stayed friends with an ex that ended amicably and for logical reasons, lmk how you’ve navigated that plz 🙃 Perfect people just not a perfect fit for what we want in our lives
