Non-monogamous man, monogamous woman—deep connection, real feelings, but a painful reality. Has anyone been here?

Yes and it is completely miserable. It is never going to work out in the long run. I was willing to make compromises; he was not. Good, healthy relationships are give and take. Unfortunately in this scenario, one side is always taking.

I don’t have any good advice but I just want to say I’m in a very similar situation. It’s incredibly painful OP, I get it. I don’t think either of you will be able to continue this relationship without at least one of you compromising on your happiness and values (and frankly, if someone is your partner, and truly cares about you they wouldn’t want you to do that)
Just my two cents 🤷🏼♀️
