some things recently came up and it has me thinking a lot. i'm not sure who else to ask this? the person i'd normally talk to is... part of it.

is it possible to have romantic feelings for more than one person at the same time? does that make you a bad person? i never had to consider it before because i thought everything would be simple, for me at least, but now it isn't so simple and i'm not

sure what to do

i don't want to hurt them

More or less. IF you have certain things you think need to be said-you can always write it down.

Maybe set it on fire after so he won't find it. Might be kind of awkward to try practicing the speech and you get caught mid-word or whatever.

i feel like i'd be even more of a disaster in writing. i mean, look at this post. i have mild regrets.

i think it'd be worse if i practiced a speech. he knows that isn't me. maybe a letter.

If you don't want to prepare a speech then...

All things considered? Don't prepare anything.

Just find a private moment where you can speak from the heart. And be prepared to clarify.

A lot.

i just hope he'll understand even if i fumble the words. he always has before. turns out he can hide things a lot easier than i can.

[weirdnecro]

Try to breathe and not rush your words. And listen too, to what he has to say.

Especially if he tries to turn you down. He may not know about open relationships or poly relationships, so he may try to do the right thing.

Which is not always the right thing for everyone.

gods. the thought of potentially having to explain something i barely understand myself is terrifying. especially with what's at stake.

even just reading 'if he tries to turn you down' makes my stomach knot up. we've already been avoiding each other since and i hate it.

[weirdnecro]

That's normal. To avoid each other after something like that was discovered-it's very normal.

But...I will say. If you want him to stay?

Don't let him go. And breathe.

[thisisamazing]

yeah, okay.

[There's a pause as he sits back and tries to take stock of everything, rearrange his thoughts into some kind of order.]

thank you. for this.

[weirdnecro]

You're welcome. And good luck.
