    Seattle anyone?

    Hi, I'm Mark. I've felt some for some months. My wife is returning today after being gone for a couple of weeks and she's going to be gone some more this week with other partners. I like sex. I don't have a lot of experience with anal sex. What's your name and where are you?

    Seattle anyone?

    Older, straight, married polyam and ENM guy looking for activity partners. Let's have coffee, go dancing, go to the zoo, whatever strikes our fancy. I have no local partners besides my wife but she's got many. That leaves me with time for you. I've been polyam for several years now and have...

    ENM, polyamory, married, older

    I am still married. I never conceal this and it is stated in dating profiles. My wife is younger by 9 years and she has a couple of partners. I know from personal experience that while I receive crickets on dating sites she receives waterfalls. They're a double-edged sword, anyway. I have...

    ENM, polyamory, married, older

    I've been married, polyamorous and ENM for several years now. I have had partners for a lot of that time. The pandemic, or rather, responses to it, separated me from partners that have since lost interest in polyamory, me, or have passed away. I have one partner now that lives a few hours...

    Wife is poly, I am not, this is very new

    By the time my wife found this partner, we had already configured our living arrangement and put to bed any concerns or fears. I met the people he was living with at the time and my wife would stay with them one week and with me the next. She still spends MUCH more time with him than with me...

    Wife is poly, I am not, this is very new

    One of the things I did with my wife's main partner, who does, for all intents and purposes live with us, was start to get to know him apart from my wife. He is super respectful of me and my feelings about my wife and I am about his about her. It wasn't easy, but it was simple. I would hang out...

    Advice for older polyamorists seeking partners

    Ever since I hit my 60's, I've felt like a pariah when it comes to (trying to) date. It may be there are other factors coincidental to that such as a pandemic and changes to people's behavior as a result. I've moved to a strategy of attending meetups so that I can be more present and available...

    Why and how did you get into poly?

    I voted 'Other' because while I've tried monogamy (married 3x), what got me into identifying as polyamorous was not related to that. My wife, to whom I am currently, and happily married to, decided to open our marriage without telling me. At least that's how I characterize it. I discovered...

    Thank you Dottie!

    New to the forum but not to polyamory

    Thank you! It's taken work and teamwork to decide how we are, as well as who we are individually. I will admit it took a really long time for my anger about the deception to pass and for my strategy for dealing with all of it to change to a more loving one from one where I was just looking to...

    New to the forum but not to polyamory

    Hi, I'm Mark! My wife and I have been polyamorous for several years. The greatest benefit to our marriage from polyamory is much improved communication. She had been cheating on me for a couple of years because she was afraid I'd leave her if I knew she was interested in sex with other men...
