with C: its our long and deep history together. Its a vision of seeing my life and not being able to see it without him. Its also humour - humour binds us. With A: It is power. There is a power behind our love that simply cannot, cannot, be broken. I have never felt so consumingly and...

For me, I always identified as poly - though closetly so. I always knew I had the capacity and desire to love more than one person, and be with more than one partner at a time - but never actually thought it was a potential reality. My husband and I have known eachother since we were 6, I always...

You could be very right here. We all knew this type of relationship was coming. It was brewing for quite some time. The actual hinge event that spurred this whole thing is something we all have negative feelings towards. Essentially, alcohol was involved, and there was partner swapping. We all...

im looking for guidance, specifically from someone who identifies with monogamy but is living with a polyamorous partner. And guidance from anyone else who has an idea. Newish triad - been living together for 6 months. C and I are legally married and have two kids. A is married to D and they...

We are also charting to avoid. Neither of us like hormonal birth control for a variety of reasons. We are looking into getting sponges as an option as well as condoms. No the current situation isnt the best - but really..how many times can condoms fail..they are supposed to have a 97% success...

I have to agree that its easier to feel compersion when our own needs are being met, or at the very least recognized. For me its about security. I am secure in my husbands and my playful banter, wrestling, joking, etc etc - so when he does that with our wife I feel overwhelming compersion. I...

I agree with ariakas... I was totally kicking and screaming at first...and it took a lot of self exploration. I still sometimes, more frequently than I would like, have those pangs of jealousy that I have to focus on and deal with...or just completely ignore and do something else. There are...

eventually im hoping people will know me here so I dont have to do a quick recap every time...but...here we go. Im in a newish triad (6ish months) with my husband and pretty much wife (she is my soulmate, known this for a long time...) Anyways, we all live together. This meant that sex...

I am loving reading this board. I'm so glad I found this place, and only wish I had found it sooner! I was reading through the jealousy-envy thread, and someone posted about her husband not allowing her to have a boyfriend, but she could have a girlfriend... another poster called this a...

I think what worries her is that she isnt sure she will ever want a baby with dh. Not because of a lack of commitment, but her dh (who she still has a relationship with) would be devastated and her family would disown her...but at the same time she feels a strong biological and emotional pull to...

A condom did not break, that we know of - but 3 of our four babies were concieved while using condoms. She has taken a test, but it was quite early (1 day late) and so we are waiting until she is 8 days late. We usually have a very active sex life, so DH being out of town - while not completely...

So Dw might be pregnant. Quick background - our poly relationship is about 6 months old. DH and I have been married for 3 years, and Dw and I are soulmates. Dh and Dw are also in love with eachother. We have a seemingly happy triad - though we have our issues; but thats to be expected...

Hey, So my name is Lindsay. I live with my legal husband (known him since we were 6) and my not legal wife (she is my soul mate - completely), and our 4 kids. Two are biologically mine and dh's, and two are dw's from her marriage. She is still in a relationship with her husband but the 3 of us...
