Elfrida Graemea month agoMy boyfriend chose me. When we first started dating, he was exploring polyamory, and while I wasn’t into it, I wanted to give it a shot because I felt so deeply for him. But everything came to a head this past Saturday. He had spent Friday with his other girlfriend, and it hurt so much that I realized I couldn’t do it anymore. I wrote him a long letter and read it to him over the phone (I had originally planned to do it in person, but he insisted on talking). He heard the pain in my voice and felt the love I have for him. And in that moment, he realized that he didn’t need the poly lifestyle if it meant losing me because he sees a future with me. So, he closed the relationship. I stayed over last night, and when we were about to fall asleep, he bear-hugged me and said, “All mine. If I had a ring, I’d ask you to marry me right now.” I started crying. The fact that he loves me that much means everything. He constantly tells me he sees a future with me—us, a place of our own, marriage, and maybe even kids (probably just cats). Honestly, I’ve never felt so loved. I was with my ex for 16 years, and he never once said those things or saw a future with me. I love my boyfriend so much. I just needed to share this because I’m so overwhelmingly happy.142
