    How do I explain to someone my situation? Advice please!!

    Thanks for the responses. It's interesting to hear about the 'poly math'. I hadn't given it much thought to be honest. I suppose I have spent so many years with J- we know eachother so well and don't demand much from eachother timewise. I could easily not see him for a few weeks at a time and...

    How do I explain to someone my situation? Advice please!!

    Yes soooo relieved!! I have been worrying about it for over a month now and I had to have a drink and a few smokes before telling him. I even scripted it so that I wouldn't get stuck for words. That's interesting that both your guys are mono. Were they initially opposed to the idea? Did they...

    Thank you for the advice. It's so hard to know how to explain it to someone else when I haven't really experienced it myself yet. I have tried to talk to a couple of friends about it but they are monogamous and don't really get it. They assume that I would really prefer a monogamous relationship...

    How do I explain to someone my situation? Advice please!!

    This is my first post and I would greatly appreciate some advice if possible. I am feeling quite anxious today! So I am very new to the poly lifestyle. I was in a monogamous relationship with 'J' for nearly 5 years and we broke up over a year ago. Over the past few months we have come back...
