So I met my wife's boyfriend. I like him. We talked a bit, did the introduction ritual and toasted to my new job.
It felt a bit weird and I was pretty tense and didn't know exactly how to act, so I felt like everything I was doing was a bit stilted. Didn't know how much affection to show my wife, just stood around not exactly knowing what to do with myself, that sort of thing.
Then I left them alone for their night.
It was an awful night. I was nervous and it took me quite some time to fall asleep. That wasn't the issue though. After half the night I woke up shivering and with a throat ache. What a time to catch a cold. Didn't sleep for half the night and called in sick for work.
In the morning I heard her moaning. It hit me like a jolt of lightning. Hard to describe that feeling. It wasn't good or bad, just a massive jolt of energy and it made me kind of horny. I went to make myself some tea.
Her boyfriend slipped out the door and my wife came to me and we talked about it. She was completely spent and tired. Had a long night. Apparently he's really good in bed.
We cuddled a bit but she was too tired to give me much affection emotionally or physically, so that was the first time I actually felt that I'm going to be getting less of her now that we're doing this poly thing.
It's not the worst feeling. Let's say it's emotionally difficult.
In the morning I got a board game delivered that I've been waiting for all year, in the afternoon I had a meeting with my psychiatrist/therapist and talked about all of this.
Basically the verdict is a shitton of stuff has been happening in my life all at once, I'm feeling a big bundle of emotion and I can't really separate what's what at the moment. Got a new awesome job, heard my wife have sex with another dude, got really sick and felt awful, got an awesome board game, have stretched my schedule a bit too thin and am behind on school work, had a ton of dates in the last weeks that were mostly pretty bad and have no romantic prospects right now and the dating apps have dried up.
I have no idea if I'm just feeling sick or if I'm jealous or happy or horny or whatever is the driving emotion, it's all a bit much and I need some time to sort it all out.
I can't wait for my wife to get home in the evening though, I miss her.
But I've got afternoon classes now until late at night.
Gonna be a long day. This is a rough one. What a time to be me.
Edit: A concerned redditor sent me links to suicide prevention through some sort of concern bot. Thank you very much for caring about me, but I'm in good hands. I got cuddled a lot when my wife came home and we discussed some things and I am feeling really good about everything at this point.
