I really enjoyed reading your story. Its heartfelt and I feel nothing but hope that things work out so the three of you are happy. I am 24 and married. My wife is mono and we have a 3yr old son. She accepts me as poly and I am sort of 'poly-single.' But I am happy because she lets me be me.

My wife and I are new to the concept of poly. She is mono and I am recently identifying as poly. If the fiance is mono and this girl is poly it still seems there needs to be good communication between her and her fiance. At least I am not doing anything I feel my wife is uncomfortable about...

stitch, I am in my mid twenties as well. Figuring out where poly ends and sex begins has been difficult for me to figure out so far too. I am a very sexual person in my monogamous relationship so I figure I will be the same in my poly ones? I thought for a long time being poly was an excuse to...

Quath, its funny you say that. Back when I was learning it was ok to love multiple people, I remember thinking about the same thing, and I have talked to her about how love works with kids, other family, friends. Her next leap was to say the only thing left is sex. The key for us is to talk...

I love my wife, it was the initial shock factor that she didn't take well to. Shes known I was different for a long time, but the idea of actually moving forward is hard for her. She got back to me last night saying go ahead and take the first step, I love you for who you are. I got to tell her...

Hmm I wanted to start a similar post on this but with a slightly different spin. I am new to poly and new to this forum and some of you who posted on this topic, includig redpepper who started it, knows a bit about me. I am 24 and married with a three year old. I just graduated college. My wife...

Update. It was pretty rough getting to an agreeable place with my wife. Her fears and concerns run the gambit. She truly believes a person cannot love multiple people and things I will quickly find someone else I love more than her. She thinks I will be seeing tons of people, that maybe I'll...

My dad comes from a conservative religious Catholic background, but my mom is more liberal spiritual (no religious affiliation). It seems my sister had a hard time being accepted as bi, but mostly the lack of acceptance is my parents not believing her, thinking it is a girl thing, or making some...

My story has been a long time in development. In high school, I watched a peer who I had known since early grade school come out of the closet as gay. He was not flamboyant, but once he came out, took his sexuality very seriously and become an important figure and leader of the GSA club, which I...

Your story together is an inspiration to me. I wanted to know what married couples starting polyamory was like. Unfortunatly for me, although I have been open with my wife back when she was my fiance, I didn't really know what polyamory was. When I first started reading and learning about it, I...

It seems this thread is old now, but coming out is difficult to face. I want to believe I am not different from society, but I am. I only recently realized I was poly, and it is not from experiencing. So basically I am identifying as poly and trying to figure out if I should come out about it...

It's difficult for me not to think about sex, right now in particular, because my wife is in Spokane, WA, and I am in Santa Barbara, CA, for the next six months! This was a way for us to begin our new lives out of college. I've just started a career down in SB, and she is finishing her career...

I have a difficult time saying what I've said about sexual things, because I feel it is contrary to the basic principle of polyamory, which is about multiples loves, not promiscuity. That is the reason I figured polyamory was more of a cover for wanting to be promiscuous. Six months ago, when I...

I've known I was different for a long time, but I didn't realize it was more than just sexually. My whole life has been long term relationships, and I have never done anything behind my partners back, but I have asked for some very strange things/arrangements up front and honest like. Being...

I'm stuck and confused, too. I've never been in a polyamorous relationship before. Basically, I came out as poly to my wife about six months ago. Prior to, we had discussed it some, but I was still too unsure to commit to being truly different. Now we are in a bit of a tough spot because we...
