Party of nine

I always find it difficult to introduce myself. Most of the times, I forget to add the necessary information.

I’m a polyamorous woman. Although my mother said it’s a temporary phase and won’t last long but eight years have passed and we are still together. We had our ups and downs. We faced problems. But we’ve never broken our ties. Our bonds are stronger than ever.

When I married my husband we were strictly monogamous. Everything was about us two. In course of time we’ve changed. We lived abroad for a while. Open relationships was introduced to us there and we decided to try it. We opened our marriage to another couple. But it all ended when we returned to our home country. Once again we become monogamous. We have two wonderful children.

A friend of mine died leaving her husband and two children. He was monogamous. Polyamorous lifestyle was a brand new concept to him. After two year relationship with him, he also became my husband. We exchanged vows. We had a not-so-small wedding. Few of our friends and families were invited. We only excluded government and religion. He is the father of my youngest child.

Two families living next to each other formed one poly family. My parents refused to accept polyamorous family but we are accepted by them. It wasn’t easy. But we made it. From everything about us two to it has become about us nine. Today our biggest problem is cooking. Living with five children is not easy. He doesn’t like this, she doesn’t want that, he wants to be a vegetarian, she hates vegetables etc. etc. etc. And laundry . . .

For last two months I'm involved with another man, FWB. He is young. He has lot to learn about life. But he is full of happiness. Always happy. No one and nothing can make him sad. It doesn’t matter how upset you are, give him few minutes he’ll put a smile on your face. Although I refer him as FWB I go to him when I feel over-stretch or distress.

A team of four hyper-active children (Hulk, Cat Woman, Wolverine and Iron Man), one too demanding toddler, two mono Teflon husbands, one FWB, two kitchens, few pets, parents, two sets of in-laws, four schools, lots of appointments, and a job with lots and lots of datelines. Pretty simple life, isn’t it?

This is me.

Welcome to the forum!

It is always nice to get new members with happy, long-term poly relationships. You sure have a lot of wisdom to share to the rest of us! Feel free to participate in any and all discussions here you think you have something to say about. Looking forward to your future posts!
 
Welcome! Nice to meet you.

5 kids would be exhausting no matter what. At least you've got 2 daddies to help raise them!

And your young man, for a bit of an escape, sounds nice. Sometimes "boytoys" can be just what the doctor ordered!

Welcome! My youngest is 17, so my poly day-to-day isn't as hectic as yours, but I stay pretty busy. :) Those younger guys can be a breath of fresh air sometimes, huh? Miss mine, but I love my guys and my life as it is now.

Thank you for your warm welcome!

Yes, five kids can be exhausting but they are fun as well. It's interesting to see the world through their eyes. 2 daddies? They are grown up teenagers actually. They were 15 for 25 years and now they are becoming younger again with grey hairs. :D

Indeed, he is an nice escape. These are two wonderful months.
