Polyamory/nonmonogamy difficulties
Relationship Stress / by sarahuman
Last post

...See more I am so sad and anxious and not sure what to do.  I've always practiced nonmonogamy and am in a nonmonogamous relationship of over two years.  However over the past year whenever my partner persues new relationships I get overwhelming anxiety. We talk about things but are sort of going around in circles about what our issues are. We have done a lot of good work but once again he's started talking to someone new and im overwhelmed with anxiety. It feels like a trauma response because it's so overwhelming but im not sure to what and im not sure how to go about processing/sorting through it.  I'm not sure if we need to try monogamy to work on our issues, break up, or something else I'm not sure of.  In an ideal world, we could work with a nonmonogamy councilor, but we really don't have the money for that.
