Hi all. About 2 months ago, my significant other of 3 years announced to me that he has decided he is polyamorous (short version explanation--he is in to having multiple partners). He said that he had tried repeatedly to have monogamous relationships but always failed miserably. He had already met a lady on line (apparently they had been talking for a long time) who is into the same thing, met her in person one weekend, spent the weekend with her, and they fell madly in love, she is the greatest love of his life, and she is going to move to our area in a few months, and he is thinking they will probably live together. She already has other partners and he is looking for more currently. Needless to say, I am crushed beyond belief. I don't want to go anywhere, don't want to meet anyone, could care less about anything except trying to figure out when he stopped loving me or if he ever did. I know therapy is an option, I know medication is an option. But I don't feel that is necessary at this point. I'd like to be able to get past this thing on my own and feel like I've accomplished something huge. I mean, I am 48 years old, I should be able to get over this without major assistance. Everyone says "he was a creep, forget him." I'm trying, but it's just not that easy to get over someone you thought would be in your life forever. How could he move on like that? I don't know what I want from you all. Maybe just to vent. Thanks for listening.
