A bit ago my partner of 5 years and I tried getting into a polyamorous relationship with a person that I already had my insecurities about, I would like to clarify that he’s never cheated or even given me a reason to believe that he has but there was already clear attraction there and I did it to try to make other people happy and made everything worse. Now that it’s over I feel like I’ve fucked up everything by even bringing it up and agreeing to it. I know the reason he wanted another companion is because I’m always working and we don’t see each other often. Even now he hasn’t cheated but it’s clear he still has attraction to this person and the breakup went horribly horribly wrong and bad and he feels bad. I’m trying to give it time but I feel like his feelings for her will never go away if he keeps hanging out with her… which is all of the time it feels like. Every friend gathering she’s there, every time he’s lonely she’s there when I can be, he always asks before having her over, I always say yes. They haven’t been alone together yet since the breakup but just the thought of him still wanting to be around her makes my heart ache in ways I never knew that it could. I hurt so deeply I’m a way I never knew I could and I feel like I’m losing my relationship. I know he would choose me over her every day and yet I still feel this deep hurt. What’s even worse is I’m starting to despise her. She’s always there making comments about how depressed she is and how sad she is, she’s allowed to be sad but it feels like manipulation after the breakup to throw it in our face like that and it makes him feel worse. I dont. I’m starting to hate her, this person that’s supposed to be my friend, and a good one at that. Everytime I hear her name it’s like nails on a chalkboard. Everytime someone invited her over I feel a deep jealousy that I’ve never felt. I hate her. I hate her. I hate her. But most of all I hate myself for feeling this way. I hate myself for bringing up polyamory in the first place. But just because I feel bad doesn’t mean that I can just change the fact that I hate her. I hate that she guilts us to make plans with her in her subtle remarks of “I haven’t seen that movie” followed with a sad face as I talk about future plans with my partner and best friend. I hate her remarks of “don’t do that or I’ll cry” I hate her. I can’t help it.
