I (24 F) posted on another Reddit looking for advice on my open relationship with my partner (24 F) and someone recommended we find other poly friends! We’re from Bowling Green, KY but travel to gay bars in Nashville and Louisville pretty often so we’d love to make new friends out there too!

I don’t see myself as monogamous but I’m so anxious that this isn’t actually the life my partner wants for us.
We recently reopened our relationship after a while of technically being closed. She went out to a bar near us by herself for the first time. It didn’t go as she expected and she’s been crying in the bath all morning over it. Nothing bad happened, she just didn’t get hit on by people she wanted to get hit on by kinda thing.
I reassure her that if this isn’t what she wants it’s okay but her response is “The situation as a whole isn’t that simple. I’m just struggling with my own self confidence and with my anxiety still being awful and literally being on the first day of my period yesterday I shouldn’t have gotten drunk like I did by myself, if I had others around me I would’ve been fine but I just got drunk and alone with my thoughts and that wasn’t good but that’s not in any way your fault.” But I can’t help feeling guilty. Like I’m doing something wrong.
My little brother is 14, I’m 24 F. Every person in my family bums money off of me. My mother, my father, my sister, and my older brother. It’s not because I make good money and can help support them. I’m full time in school and full time working a factory job. I make enough to get by. They just don’t work. They find ways to get money by doing jobs like DoorDash or donating plasma sometimes. I’m worried my little brother is gonna take after them. But he’s just a kid right now so it’s not like he has money for himself. I can’t help but want to distance myself though.
