Hi nondy2!
Welcome aboard. I am pretty new here myself.
As for why I decided to be poly, I had never heard of it until fairly recently. A friend I made was poly and she turned me on to the idea. I have always been a big proponent of honesty and openness. Through my life I found it easy to...
Sorry as you might imagine I have been kind of busy Magdlyn.
I wouldn't say appalled. She just realizes that we are in different places. We also had some other issues that I haven't really mentioned here. I'm moving out on the 20th of oct. We have no kids. Everything is very friendly and...
Well we finally had some communication. We both realized that we are in completely different places now. She admitted to hiding from the issue. We have decided to divorce.
Everything is friendly and amicable we went over some details last night. We both want to stay friends. We are both...
Just a quick update.
No real progress. She is hiding from the issue I think. A couple weeks ago I wrote her a letter explaining my feelings as well as some info on what polyamory was. She refuses to open and read it. When I bring it up I am told that she is still trying to get her head...

We had scheduled some marriage counseling(our first one is...
Thanks nycindie. That was a long and informative read. It's pretty much what I would expect to happen if I just dropped a bomb on my wife as well.
I really have to work against myself being ansy and impatient. My friend pointed out and made me think hard about issues in my marriage. I have...
Well if I ever get my TARDIS working again Ill be sure to give you a spin.
My friend who introduced me to poly my wife and one of their partners are going to do a double date one night and possibly more in the future. I think exposure will go a long way to helping.
I brought this up in the...
SNeacail: Thanks this is my plan so far. I am prepared for it to take a long time. I have no illusions about that. It helps to know there is someone in a similar situation. I hope it goes swimmingly for you!
RagingBibliophile: I completely agree honesty is the key. Its one of the things...
Hello everyone! I am The10thDoctor. Hmm it was more fun than I thought saying that. :)
Anyway...I wanted to introduce myself and present my dilemma for advice. It will be long and there is a bit to explain. I am hoping there have been people with some similar experiences that can help.
