Congrats on your upcoming double date! I just met my wife's boyfriend and his wife last weekend, and we all really seemed to hit it off and had a great time. My wife and I have also had our ups and downs, but since she's been in this relationship, things seemed to have stabilized, and like you...

I know it's not necessary, but I can't help emphasizing the links that kdt26417 provided. All of them have been extremely helpful to me, but when I'm feeling adrift or indecisive or whatever, and I need a "shot in the arm" so to speak, I go back and take a quick look at "The Mono Bill of...

Thanks for everyone's responses. I really appreciate the friendly welcomes. I've been doing a lot of reading here and it's good to see the variety of experiences. I know my wife and I have some things to work on, and there's a lot of good information and ideas here. I'm looking forward to...

Thanks, lunabunny. Yes, I wonder if my wife is a serial monogamist at heart. I do think she loves me and we have a special bond, but she can get very infatuated and for awhile, and feel the need to be exclusive. I have had other partners while she's in this infatuated state, but I'd prefer not...

I'm a 27 year old male and I grew up with polyamorous parents, although I never heard the term used then. I don't have anything bad at all to say about it, and I'm trying to make a polyamorous marriage work now. I never had a chance to really talk to them about it, but as far as I know, my...
