My boyfriend and I have mutually decided to split after the lockdown orders end. While I can see that we are ending our relationship for the right reasons, I can’t help but think that we could still be together. How can I reconcile with myself?
When my current girlfriend and I took a break a couple years ago, I slept with new partners. After we got back together, we never talked about who we slept with. Recently, I realized we never had that conversation about our sex life during the break when she incorrectly guessed the number of people I’ve slept with during a game. Should I tell her that I slept with other people during our break couple years ago?
My ex-boyfriend broke up with me because he felt deeply uncomfortable with the close connection I have with one of my professional colleagues.

How can I get over his judgment?

My boyfriend is breaking up with his wife. I got really close my metamour as a close friend over the past year. I feel like I am being put in a very difficult place – in the middle – of their failing marriage. How can I manage this difficult situation?
“We [32M] started talking and became friends more than two years ago. She [26F] lives literally on the other side of the planet. We had a romantic relationship for about a year. It was very intense. Then one day she said that it wasn’t realistic for us to be together. […]
“I have been questioning whether I was truly poly or not for sometime. So I started dating someone who has a personal history with polyamory to gauge that orientation for myself. I really enjoy our relationship and my metamour very, very much. However, I also started dating a second person […]
“Here’s my situation: I’m a bisexual cis-woman in my mid 20s who started dating a queer cis-man several years older than me. We’ve been together for a few years now. I had never heard of polyamory until I met him. He introduced me to The Ethical Slut and it changed […]
