Hello! Once again I am on here asking for advice! I am monogamous myself, and I was just curious how those of you who identify as monogamous but have a partner who is poly, deal with your free time and insecurities? I'm talking all the obvious insecurities like "is she having more fun with her other partner than with me" etc. Also, how did you come to accept it in the end? What was it that made it okay for you? These were all things I really struggled with and would like to hear others' experiences on how you navigated it. While I did have my own group of friends and hobbies, I couldn't find myself enjoying myself in the moment with them while knowing my partner was out with someone else. I just feel distracted and frustrated the whole time, unfortunately.

Disclaimer: I did in fact already discover that poly isn't for me, and I apologize if anything I've written is offensive or ignorant or anything of the sort. I do like this community, you have all taught me valuable lessons in loving myself, respecting my boundaries, and realizing this isn't something I could do. Or at least not right now? But that doesn't stop me from being curious! So again, I'd like to hear from those of you monogamous folks that did make it work! Much love <3
