Special

The thing that upsets me the most about being poly is the fact that I don’t feel special to my partner(s). Since they all have other partners, it feels to me like I’m just another person they spend time with. I’m not saying that these relationships aren’t meaningful or don’t have depth; quite the contrary, I think the relationship I’m (sort of) in right now is becoming one of the more meaningful relationships I’ve ever had. But at the same time, it doesn’t feel unique. I don’t feel like our relationship is any more meaningful to my partner than those of any of the other people she’s with.

Does that make sense? Any advice on how to look at this from a different perspective?
