Hi all. I'm a 20 year old female full-time student who has recently become involved in a polyamorous relationship. I met him about a month ago, and had no previous experience with being in a poly relationship, in fact, I didn't even know there was such a thing. After talking with him and doing some reading/research of my own I've found that a poly lifestyle is what I'm after.
With that said, I had originally been only interested in him, and had accepted the fact that he would be seeing other people. But I realized that I too would like to see other people, and I brought this up to him. His response was that he was originally drawn to me due in no small part to the fact that I was willing to be committed to him. He said that he wouldn't stop me from seeing other people if that's what I wanted, but that I would probably see less of him than I am now.
It's hard for me to deal with him taking a weekend to spend time with another partner, when I feel like I can't be with anyone else. I know he said that I can if I want, but I feel like if I do, I will lose having him in my life.
This is all new and confusing, and it's hard to find anyone to talk to about this, so I hope someone here may be able to help. Thanks!
