Hi!

I am new in the sense that I just started dating an open couple a few months ago, and I have the sense that there aren't many other male "others". I am good friends with hubby, we all hang out together often.

I have separated from, and am amicably divorcing, my wife. My kids, who are younger than my couples kids, are aware and haven't yet been socialized to see what society says about relationships.

I guess I have been aware that I fall into the "other" category about many issues with relationships for a long time. I am, however, finding myself having dove headfirst into territory that is new even to my couple.

I am really only into ladies, but have participated in group scenarios together and separately from my main squeezes. I don't have any hang-ups about whoever you might be.

I just want to reach out and see if there is anyone who might relate, be in my area (CT) or if not online chatting is cool too.

Anyway, I just joined and as a quasi-newb, thought I should properly introduce myself and ask what's up to everyone.

Thanks!

DG

Hi DorianGray - and welcome to the Forum! We will look forward to hearing more of your story as it unfolds.

I am new in the sense that I just started dating an open couple a few months ago, and I have the sense that there aren't many other male "others"

Although the public perception of polyamory is often a vision of the hip couple joined up with a hot bi-babe (aka the "unicorn"), in actuality - based on what we typically see posted here at least - more often than not, this is not actually the case. The MFM V - where a woman in the "hinge" and has 2 male partners - seems to be the more common and more stable arrangement. The reasons for this have been discussed here at length so I won't go into them right now in this brief welcome.

We have lots of experienced poly folks here who are generally helpful and friendly - with lots of sound advice. Please feel free to post and specific questions or thoughts to the Poly Relationships Corner or the General Poly Discussion section and you are likely to get some good thoughtful responses.

Best of luck on your poly journey! Al
