It can and does work
Prof has been with me for 10 and Mad Sci for 15. We also had a 5 year relationship with another couple, though the husband in that relationship sadly died, we are still close with his widow and her children, though not intimate now.
It is a lot of work but it isn't hard...
We are middle aged gamers, educated professionals but not terribly conscious of fashion we fall into the comfort clothes category. We love food and cooking, games and movies. We live in a quiet neighborhood that overlooks a park and no one really thinks about us much.
Don't get me wrong. I love that poly is becoming more visible but she does kind of have to work the sellable angle to keep a show. That's all I meant. When poly works well it is normal. ;)
poly show
I think my poly life would not make for interesting viewing. we are fat middle aged and generally pretty agreeable. We've had a long time to practice though. What I am trying to say is that unless there are hot young people having sex most people would find poly too normal to watch...
wow this thread has gone crazy
Just for the record. I am female, I am bi. I am not disgusted by anyone's opinion on this board. I enjoy all kinds of porn and am not imaginary, going through a phase, or doing it for a man. I think whatever makes you happiest you should do, unless it causes harm...
polyandry
Your question is unclear. Are you looking for people who are interested to talk to and explore the idea as a concept? or Are you looking for people interested in having this arrangement with you?:confused:
I am sorry to hear this is happening to you. Here at our house, if it isn't honest and upfront there had better be a good reason for it. Even if he hasn't outright lied, even if he's just "waiting for the right time to tell you" even if he really loves you both and wants you to be happy without...

Questions
Have you considered negotiating a temporary separation to give him a chance to be with only her for a bit, with a time limit and conditions?
Is the relationship really over if he chooses her, is it a deal breaker? Say if he decided to come back to you, would you take him?
Is he a...
my sponsor
I agree that sponsors are not councilors or therapists, they are broken humans doing their best to live the best they can in the confines of their experience. However, 12 step here is very hush hush on any outside issues that aren't conformed to traditional values. I am a non...
Lost
I am so sorry to hear this is happening. I had a lot to say and many questions but I think maybe pure sympathy for your position is what you are asking for not advice. If you need something please pm me and I will offer what support I can as an outside who is poly longterm. Know that your...
