My OC was in a polyamorous relationship with two people and as of late the person who plays one of the characters in the relationship (also my friend) has fallen out from the relationship altogether which means we're no longer shipping our characters together and haven't been for a long time now.
This person while supporting my content and still very much my friend, has gone out of their way to avoid content I have with this other person where my OC is still in a relationship with them. It's not a fun feeling and I'm sensing some jealousy and pettiness there. I've also been trying to be understanding and patient. However, it should also be noted that this person was fine with my OC and the other person's OC's being involved when it was the three of them. Suddenly it's a problem to act some sort of way over?
No conversations have been had about this as I feel like if this friend had an issue with it they should be open and honest with me, not slighting me behind the scenes. I'm somewhat of an observer and can't help but notice this. I fully understand that open relationships/poly stuff is difficult to RP but when we were all interacting it was very open, with no issues, we all communicated and everyone seemed happy. Suddenly it's not. There is something residual there.
Since their character has split off (their choice to do so), I'm getting a very heavy avoidance feeling over here and I'm not sure how to react. I feel bad for posting my content because I don't want to make them /feel/ a certain way but I'm also stuck in the mindset that this is my content and I'll enjoy it and those who don't can mess off. It's been putting a damper on sharing creative works such as art forms or writing because I don't want to be insensitive but I also don't want someone's unspoken, residual feelings (whatever they might be) to impact me and stifle my sway.
What are your thoughts on this and have you ever experienced something like this yourself?
I apologize for the novel but I figured the one person I could trust on this platform to give advice or have an actual, impactful discussion about how I'm feeling even while on Anon, would be you.
Thanks!💕
