Austin Triad introduction

Hello everyone from the small town of Monmouth, Oregon!

Both me and my partner have been poly for the 14 years that we have been together, but only after our first year together did we learn that there was a name for how we felt about relationships, and that there were more people who felt the way we do. We have two lovely and well adjusted children, a 10 year old son and 11 year old daughter, as well as now trying to add another 10 year old son and 12 year old daughter!

The male half of our triad is an accomplished Graphic Artist and Photographer who uses his talent (and the business he created, BadFairy Graphics) to help others change the public image of Polyamorous relationships.

We have had relationships off and on the past years (some for him, some for her and some we've shared) but no one really stuck. Then we met our current life partner Amanda and everything changed.

When Amanda came into our lives, she was fresh out of a nasty divorce and had her two kids taken away. We all realized that we had found someone very special. We compliment each other in more ways than we thought possible!

We are looking forward to some lively discussions on here and getting to know others who think like us!
 
Greetings AustinTriad,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

I have enjoyed your posts so far, look forward to reading more. So often we hear of triads that don't work, it is nice to hear of one that does.

Is Monmouth in Eastern or Western Oregon? Just curious.

Regards,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)

Notes:

There's a *lot* of good info in Golden Nuggets. Have a look!

Please read through the guidelines if you haven't already.

Note: You needn't read every reply to your posts, especially if someone posts in a disagreeable way. Given the size and scope of the site it's hard not to run into the occasional disagreeable person. Please contact the mods if you do (or if you see any spam), and you can block the person if you want.

If you have any questions about the board itself, please private-message a mod and they'll do their best to help.

Welcome aboard!

Monmouth is perhaps 14 miles southwest of Salem (the male partner works in salem)

This triad is SO much different than anyone we've dated and I think the big factor in that is we weren't actively looking for someone, it just happened, and we *ALL just clicked.

So far we've really been enjoying oregon. The male half grew up here but this is my first experience with oregon and its beautiful beyond words, and so many of the people are extremely open minded and accepting so far
 
Hi AustinTriad,

Welcome to the board.

So, you're John, the male member of the triad?

And you're not from Austin, you're from Monmouth, OR?

Do your female partners also have accounts here? It is just confusing when some of your posts seem to be talking as two or even three people, and some of them seem to be coming from John's voice alone.

It is strongly recommended in our guidelines that couples, or more, do not share an account, but if all want to post, each create their own account. Otherwise it is very confusing for the other members to get to know you as individuals. Also you and your partners will have at least slight differences of opinion on things and might not realize if one of your partners is saying something in a way you wouldn't quite put it yourself.


edit: now on rereading, maybe it was Cassie actually typing these posts. Ack!

never can tell. Just actually got BOOTED from another forum because we HAD multiple accounts for the household. I'll have them create their own account
 
Thanks, Austin. Separate accounts help us understand who is saying what and also help us get to know you as individuals.
 
So, now that is cleared up.....

I am the male partner in our triad.

Known to my friends and some of my clients as "JD" or just "badfairy"

Basically what happened with us. Champ was the hinge of our V and Lovie and I hit it off and decided to give a triad a try.

Its amazing how it just naturally comes together sometimes.
 
Welcome to the board! I'm really looking forward to reading more of the posts from all of you (and thank you so much for creating separate accounts--it really is a huge help in keeping track of what's going on!).
