how to be a good hinge
Hello!! I have a nesting partner and just started dating someone else. There were a lot of big feelings in the first week of dating, such as NRE with this new person and hard feelings of change with my nesting partner. I think I made it quite a bit of missteps in terms of communicating and pacing. I really want to be a good hinge and I want to care for both of these people. I’m nervous about how couples privledge will negatively impact my new date and I want to minimize that. My partner needs things to slow down for her nervous system to settle. And this new person is feeling anxious about the uncertainty of when we will see each other. How have you handled this in the past? What are some tips you have for me, someone who has never done this before? What are some things you wish you knew? I’m needing words of encouragement that it will work itself out too.
