Ok, so I have some questions, thoughts maybe just need some discussion. So right now, none of our friends know that I'm poly. My husband's family doesn't know either. And I feel like he would not want them to know. No, I haven't asked directly yet which is the point of this thread.
Have you opened up to your friends and family? How did you go about doing that? Has anyone experienced where the spouse/SO doesn't want to go public but you do? Have you lost friends or family over it?
I don't know that I'm actually ready either, because I don't know what might change if I did, but it's something deep down I would like to eventually do. I would like to be at a place where I could be myself.
My boyfriend also hasn't and doesn't feel ready to tell his parents he has two gfs. Which I also respect, but would eventually like to meet his parents.
I guess, I am just curious for talk on who has done this before and dealt with this.
