Do I tell my other partners or ignore the potential crush?

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Klarinette245@feddit.org⁩ to ⁨[deleted]⁩

When I was 17 (NB) I dated “Emma” (15F). We broke up when she was 16 and I had just turned 18. She said she wasn’t a good girlfriend, but I think differently. I think I was a bad partner.

I feel a nervous, tingling sensation in my chest and stomach when I think about Emma, and sometimes my face gets hot. I wouldn’t mind kissing her and I miss our relationship a little, but it’s also okay for me to just be friends, because I don’t know if she still likes girls/non-binary people.

What should I do? Do I still like her romantically? I have a girlfriend and queerplatonic partner, but I am also polyamorous.

I would either not risk making my girlfriend especially upset and not say anything because Emma doesn’t wanna date anyone, or I’d get it off my chest.

Have you discussed polyamory and what it looks like for your relationship with your girlfriend and partner?

I would think you’re new partner would be able to tell what your feels are towards your former partner. In most relationships there’s “the one that got away”, you should be able to have a conversation with your new partner about past relationships and find out what their feels are about past relationships. Then that will give you direction to either continue the conversation or leave the topic alone. The issue here is, you and what sounds like your first love are still in a non-romantic relationship that sounds like you are hoping to rekindle. This sounds toxic and you need to make a decision about what’s more important and is there really going to be an opportunity for rekindling the romantic relationship or if you’re just torturing yourself.
