Hi Frankie,

Thanks for reaching out!

I opt for monogamous relationships too so I wouldn't be the best person to give you insight on polyamorous relationships; perhaps someone else would be able to guide you more on that.

However, I can say one thing with certainty - monogamous or polyamorous, you shouldn't be in a relationship where you're feeling less valued and doubtful about your partner. Relationships should complete you, not make you feel worse. The very fact that you're having this question implies that there might be some areas of the relationship you're not happy with. You say that you know she loves you deep in her heart, but remember that she needs to exhibit that through her behaviour as well.

Perhaps you could have an honest conversation with your girlfriend about this? You deserve better, remember that
