I am 27F, Muslim from a modern Asian country and grew up in big cities all my life, from KL to Dubai to Chicago.
I have a loving and caring partner, much older than me, no kids and a genuinely happy relationship, romanic and intimate. But, there has been this lingering feeling all my life that I reach out or engage with other people, men and women emotionally, romantically but not intimately and when I met my partner I believe he was the only one who understood me, my flaws and everything. He too has this polyamorous side to him, he always says he is fully satisfied with me as his soulmate, partner in crime, his everything but he just can't help engaging with other women and it was initially a trying phase in our relationship but we have both gotten much closer emotionally and mentally since then and we accept each other for who we are as individuals.
Are there other couples out where who have such confusion as to why they feel this need to be poly and how did you reconcile with each other and with yourself, especially if you come from conservative or religious background? I hope no hate messages or comments come my way, but I have thick skin and you won't be hurting me with any hate thrown my way. Genuine replies are welcome, constructive advice, sympathetic eyes are appreciated.
