Navigating a Breakup in Polyamorous Relationships

no need to feel guilty! some folks just aren’t compatible in their love languages and/or communication styles and that isn’t your fault. it’s better to end it and move on rather than drag them along. take the extra time you have to enjoy your other relationships 💖

U have nothing to feel guilty about. The fact is not all relationships can remain romantic. It just takes a special person to keep the romance alive in a relationship. The important thing is that u both realized and were able to come to terms with the fact that relationship is just platonic. There is nothing wrong with that. Better that u realized it now than 2-3 yrs later. P.S. I'm also poly. It taken a lot of time and open communication with my partners to get to a comfortable spot.

Heck yeah dude! I'm glad this was a somewhat positive experience overall big-picture-wise! But don't feel guilty for feeling any emotions. Your relief is founded in that you realized you both weren't feeling that connection, that it wasn't just one of you. I totally understand the feeling of guilt though, when my ex partner broke up with me for the same reason, I was so relieved because I realized I wasn't attracted to them but rather wanted to be good friends with them! I hope you have as good an experience as I did, as years later I am still friends with them ^_^

Don't feel bad please. I dated someone for around the same time and pressured them to get back together. We did not. But I felt horrible when I acknowledged that my feelings were platonic. It was the wrong person wrong time for me. Sometimes attractions change and that's ok!!

Don't feel guilty. We don't feel romantic around just anybody. When a relationship starts to feel platonic, it never really goes back. Or at least it hasn't for me. Now both of you can move forward and find someone that you care about, more than platonically.

you dont need to feel guilty for feeling the same way. brains just be like that. im glad that it sounds like y'all are going to continue being friends! (-:
