Thank you for your thoughts. I definitely don’t want to be in something like a poly relationship, but am open to exploring on an occasional basis but i did not see it as becoming a regular “friday night event” kind of thing. I do agree, the suicidal thoughts probably came from a culmination of a lot of pressure of different things (possibly a lifestyle i do not want).

Thank you for insight. Me and my bf are going for couple’s therapy and we’ll see how it goes from there. I personally do not think it was so that he could cheat. I trust him when he said it was not his intent. And if he wanted an open lifestyle, he could well able to break up with me and live a more open lifestyle as a single guy.

Suicide is pretty severe, and then my experience poly relationships are exactly that. It gives one person in this case I believe your boyfriend, the ability to go outside of the relationship, whenever and wherever with whomever he wants I wish you the best of luck. Please take care of yourself and I’m gonna tell you it’s not worth it. These relationships never developed into a deep and meaningful abiding love
