Some people say to me, "but you have more partners, if you miss one you can just go to any of the others!"
Some people say "oh I get it, then it doesn& #39;t hurt as bad when you break up with one!"
Some people need a mighty hard whack with the cluebat. 1/7

The amount of partners doesn& #39;t matter. I and my feelings are no jug of water. Think of it like a tap, or rather something like Gullfoss (a waterfall on Iceland I happen to like). It doesn& #39;t get diminished by "division", there& #39;s not a set limit to it to be mindful of. 2/7
Some people love only one person. Cool for them. I love many, and each and every one of them in an individual way, but no less strongly or intensely than a #monogamous person their one partner.
The distinct disadvantage is that this goes also for the less positive emotions. 3/7

It& #39;s crippling to not be able to meet even one, or be able to be a support via anything but text and video chat. Builds emotional resilience, I suppose, but also takes its toll. I live solo because cohabiting Does Not Work for me (I tried, a lot). Some partners live near, 4/7
some live far away from me. A certain stupid pandemic has had many unforeseen consequences.
For me, missing my loves like crazy is one of the more emotionally draining. And at least now, people don& #39;t (often) say "but you can just go to another one then". 5/7

Every single one is an individual relationship, an individual love, just like for mono people; only I& #39;m involved in more than one. And I miss them, SO MUCH, every single one. So, I& #39;m genuinely happy for those who live with their partner/s, and don& #39;t have to miss them! 6/7
The hard parts are still there, the good parts are there, for every individual relationship; I just have more than one.
The waterfall of my emotions roars on. And I long for each one of my loves.
