Hey all,
I’ve got a situation I’m trying to wrap my head around. I’ve got some ideas how to describe it so everyone in my relationships can discuss it. I’m so close to the situation that I want a little more perspective. Thanks!
Drew is in a long term relationship with Karen and a more recent relationship with Meg. Meg has been seeing Rick for more than a year. Everyone knows what’s going on with everyone else.
Rick is the newest to polyamory and says he has wanted to try it for years. His ex wife was not interested and now he’s trying it out. He says he’s ok with Meg sleeping with Drew, and is not seeing anyone else, he is free to and is not.
When Rick visits Meg he refuses to have sex with her in her bed if Drew has been there within the past few days, even with fresh sheets.
When Meg visits Rick he questions s her about having sex with Drew. When he learns they have had sex in the past few days processes his discomfort by talking about his negative feelings in a dramatic and verbose way. All the while saying he does not want a monogamous relationship. Meg then spends significant energy comforting Rick. Most of the time she is successful in convincing Rick to have sex with her.
How do you describe Rick’s behavior?
