Iām going to be honest I just really have no one but my partners to talk to this about an I just wanted to get it out.
Iāve been in a slightly hierarchal poly relationship for 3 years now, and Iāve been saturated due to being in two overlapping triads for the past year. Well one of my partners was being super flaky over the last three months and due to a Facebook error we found out that she had been ācheatingā on us for that period of time (she was seeing someone else without telling us it was happening. The four of us were fluid bonded so the only boundary we had all set was that we alert each other of new partners so we could start using protection with that partner)
Obviously, dishonesty has no place in an ethical relationship so I broke up with her and wished her well on her future endeavors.
Well now weāre down to the one triad the girlfriends and metas went out one day (nesting with both partners) and I had realized what its like to have time again! I had spent so much time maintaining three relationships and focusing on my libido that I havenāt had time to myself! I cleaned my pc, I played with the dogs, I 3d printed some stuff,I STREAMED A GAME ON TWITCH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A YEAR! Itās really made me think about some things.I think I had overestimated my polysaturation point and hadnāt been taking care of me. Iāll be more aware of this in the future. I think I spent so much time trying to be the absolute perfect boyfriend to 3 women that it put me to a point where I was ignoring my own fulfillment. It kinda sucks that Iām missing out on that extra sexual gratification, but I feel like if thatās the only thing missing I donāt really need to date anyway.
Sorry I just wanted to empty my head a bit.
