I was jumping between relationships all through my 20s and was never happy. I decided to just stop and take care of myself for nearly two years. Moved out and on my own. Still took my time and found someone. Got engaged and with her for four years. We naturally split up as our personal paths were going in different directions.

I’m now married to someone else in a poly relationship, and I have two girlfriends as well as my married partner and I couldn’t be happier.

If you told me 12 years ago I’d have three long term relationships, I’d have punched myself for getting my hopes up.
