So I have this one girlfriend and this one ex. We are polyamorous so I have been dating my girlfriend “Renee” for a year and my ex “Sylvia” while I was dating Renee with her permission. I’ve known Sylvia since I was 9 but I’ve known Renee since like first grade.
Anyway, Sylvia occasionally flirts with me but she has two girlfriends (one is her recent girlfriend who happens to be Renee and the other is this girl “Ruby”).
I’ve seen a lot of Relationship posts and I’m thinking it’s “partner problem season” or something.
So Sylvia does flirt with me and we are on-and-off partners. We broke up again a while ago but I know we’ll probably be back together. Her charm really makes me wanna be with her because she’s energetic, pretty, and charismatic, but she also spends way more time with her partners, rightfully.
She barely even talks to me and just plays some video game like our favorite, Doki Doki Literature Club or just Minecraft or something.
Sometimes she acts like she likes me and cares about me but other times she engages in the same behaviors as the ones that made me break up with her, her neglecting my needs.


You can also just meet her where she is. The big strength of polyamory is that you don’t need one partner who can fulfil all your needs.
What you have with Sylvia might be referred to as a “comet relationship”. They come around once every now and then, burns hot and bright for a short time and then they leave for a while.
It’s not bad or good, it just is.
