I kind of just want support right now..

I'm in a polyamorous relationship in which my boyfriend's girlfriend is abusive. I can't deal with only one other person knowing any more.

He tried to break up with her but she convinced him to stay..

I was so relieved that I'd finally have him to myself and be able to be more public with him without worrying that she would respond to said publicness by causing panic attacks or.. whatever the hell she does to him. Now I get to continue worrying every time I text him and he takes a while to respond that she's there and reading his texts to make sure that I don't text him, because I know that if I do text him while she's there she freaks out on him..

I can't tell him to break up with her because that just makes everything worse.. because that's not what you're supposed to do. I've done as much research as I could on abusive relationships and that's the only thing that any website has ever said: 'only the person in the relationship can decide that it's time to end it.'

I thought he finally had.. I didn't have to worry anymore. Fuckk.

What the hell am I supposed to do?

Just sit back and watch, apparently..

Hmm...

Polyamorous or open? My understanding of polyamory (admittedly limited) would make her your girlfriend, no?

If you're in a relationship with him AND he's in a relationship with her, then you are in a relationship with her, too, either way, so I don't think you should be necessarily following the monogamy/closed relationship advice you find online.

Polyamorous also includes

Polyamorous also includes relationships in which one person has two significant others who know about each other, but neither of said significant others like the other. I've done research on that too. xP

Hmm...

I always linked polyamory differently, but obviously I'm not huge on labels anyway.

My take would have been that you were in an open relationship with someone polyamorous, though. Otherwise, how do you differentiate that she is also not your girlfriend without a lot of extra wordage?

I think it's called V

I think it's called V polyamory.. like.. there are all of the polyamorous relationship shapes, like the square or the n or the triangle or whatever.. but we have a v going. Weird way to describe it, but meh..

hehehe...

So, the polyamoryists are warring with the bisexuals over who can make things more confusing?
