My Wife Left Me for Polyamory After 15 Years of Marriage
After supporting my wife's mental health struggles and agreeing to polyamory, I realized it wasn't for me. But when I expressed my discomfort, she chose her new lover over our family.
We were married for 15 years, and despite her mental health challenges, our marriage was strong. When she wanted to explore polyamory, I supported her, but her private relationship with another man caused me immense pain.
Ages undisclosed, our relationship was going well until she met someone new, leading to a heartbreaking conflict over polyamory.
I tried my hardest to be OK with it but I could never get around the idea.
Despite my efforts, the relationship with the new man continued, causing a rift that I couldn't overcome.
I told her that I couldn’t do it, crying as hard as I’ve ever cried before.
Ultimately, I had to choose my own well-being and expressed my discomfort, leading to a heartbreaking decision.
🏠 The Aftermath
Since our split, I've focused on moving forward. She left, and now I'm adjusting to life as a single parent.
I maintained our home and am now taking care of our children on my own, navigating the changes in our family dynamic.
The consequences have been significant, from financial adjustments to the emotional toll of the separation.
She chose her new relationship over our family, leaving me to pick up the pieces.
While I'm moving forward, bitterness lingers as I reflect on the hurt caused by her decisions.
