Yes! I so completely agree with everything you have said here. Even currently being in a poly relationship, where I am very glad that my wife has a boyfriend who gives her many things that I cannot, I still struggle with her expectations of me as her primary partner. I realize that we have kids together, so there will naturally be a need for unity between us that would not be necessary otherwise. But I still feel stifled at times that she wants me to be almost everything to her almost all the time. If she could just stand on her own and accept what I have to offer without making me feel pressured to measure up to her expectations, I don't think we would spend less time together or that I would show her any less love and affection, but there would be less tension and more appreciation from both sides. But at least we are on the path
