Hey all, been lurking for a minute. I want to clarify this is not a personals post, just wanting to get something off my chest and see if the community has any advice.

So I've been in the poly lifestyle for almost a decade and oh boy do I have some stories lol. But, semi recently, my nesting partner and I decided that our relationship goals were a bit different (specifically in the 'having kids' department). No love lost, just needed to reconstruct the dynamic a bit and we now live separately. My... Issue? Is feeling like I want to be solo but I also want to be a family man... Not unique to poly, of course, but I have another partner that has the family life. And while I realistically know I could talk about becoming part of that life with them, there's a part of me that feels 3rd-wheel-ish in that scenario.

I'm not unsatisfied with my relationships currently but adjusting to bachelor life has not been as easy as I'd hoped, and I don't 100% know what I'm even looking for now but anyway thanks for reading, here's a dumb joke:

When something swims by And it brushes your thigh That's....
