Cuddling While in A Relationship

Hello Everyone, I was on the site a few years back right after my divorce and it really helped me a lot. Then I got off for a while and rejoined about 3 months ago. Even though I’ve been in a relationship for about a year. The thing is that we only see each other maybe once a week and sometimes even 2 weeks. We both have kids, careers, ect. She only lives a half hour away. What I’m getting at is this. The site has really helped even though I’ve got someone. From in person to virtual. Anyone else in the same situation or any thoughts in general are welcome. Just saying that the connections have been great. Thanks!

    Iv been in a long distance relationship (usa to Australia) and havnt seen my partner sense before covid. Cuddling other people has helped my mental health so much and probably helped my relationship survive this pandemic.
    Eveyones aware and we have good communication and I think It is healthy to not have to depend on one person to get all your needs met.

    @CozyWolfy Thanks for the insight. For us we do have different love languages too. She is more of an acts of service type and I’m more about touch.

    I noticed this is a recurring topic, I honestly don’t see anything wrong if your partner knows & is ok with it … if they don’t know, do you feel guilty about it? how do you think they would react if they found out? Would their reaction have been different had you told them before proceeding vs telling them after the fact? how would you feel if you found out tomorrow that your partner was cuddling without you knowing? … I think these are all good questions one could as themselves & the answer/s will be different for everyone.

    @cuddles_ndream Those are all great questions and points made. I’ll have to ponder on a few of them myself.

    This is a cornerstone of the polyamorous thought process and I think it makes a lot of sense. What I appreciate about polyamory is the knowledge and consent of the partner.
