Polyamorous- partner started dating someone while we're in the middle of a fight

My partner Lucy and I got into a fight the day after I started my month business trip and we can't talk through our problems until I get home from this trip.

Before I left Lucy had started pursuing Fae for a few months and a few weeks into knowing each other they started dating but because of reasons I won't dive into they put their relationship on pause with the full intention of starting up again any time.

Last week I checked our shared calendar and saw Lucy had scheduled a date with Fae to make their relationship official and I was heartbroken because I had to find out through the calendar.

I'm conflicted because I fully understood and supported the two getting together but it feels like really bad timing because of our fight where I've already expressed to Lucy a fear of us breaking up over the fight.

I wish they would have waited until after our fight was resolved but I feel like I can't complain too much because the intention of dating was already made clear before I left and time can't stop just because I'm having problems.

I feel powerless and alone

This is alot to contend with and it can be conflicting. Its important to be honest how you feel and to make your boundaries clear and what you want from this relationship. Don't let it fester 💕💜
