Anyone would like to answer my original question please?

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Thanks for your replies! In my life, if I would let things happen, I would still be single. I always put some effort in getting what I want... I understand the "project" thing and I know it is not like that... even for outsiders. Right now, I do not want anything too eccentric, yet I like to...

Meeting people in everyday life that would find poly acceptable a long shot? I have another thread going about how some of the opposite sex people I meet in casual encounters soon give up contact since they know I am in a relationship. I mean, even just trying to maintain friendship with...

Hello, just slowly adding some flexibility and permissiveness in our couple. Nothing major but we have had some experiences here and there and I am trying to explore the possibilities. So I am an adult man and want to meet people in everyday situations outside the regular circle. It's easy...

No worries. "Friend" meant half-friend, since my SO isn't 100% on board, but trying to give me/her the benefit of the doubt. There is no way I could build a relationship with her, at this point, but I would like to salvage the friendship.

Both my SO and my "friend" are being very patient and cooperative. I think we are on the right track. It will take a long time to iron out, though. Thanks so much.

Adultery is everywhere, and I think she is no better or worse that many of my parents, friends and acquaintances that dream of freedom, but do not know there is a possibility other than cheating. That's why.

The reason was she made advances to me and encouraged me to be unfaithful. She basically thought I wanted to have an affair, which wasn't the case, but we hadn't had enough time to discuss this, since my SO panicked and ordered me to stop communicating. I think she understands better now, but...

All I can say is that the balance seems to be out of favor for you. Everybody should be either happy or comfortable..no? You are not comfortable with this and seems like you are being very generous of your time/space. I think you need some readjustment.... I am no pro...just common sense.

Hello, I have been involved with what some of you may call a cowgirl or a homewrecker. There was nothing sexual, only emails, a couple nights out for drinks and a few phone calls. I didn't know she was a cowgirl and she didn't know I didn't want to stray. My SO was clearly hurt by this, even if...

Thanks a lot! This is helpful!

Hello, I am wondering if there is a "norm," in the sense that, if I have two women in my life, do they have to be good friends? Also, is there a guideline/balance in the sense that we either spend all the time together (three of us) or apart? I am fairly new and am trying to make sense of...

I am still aching! I have allowed myself to fall for this woman telling myself she was married and that nothing too serious that could happen (my intentions anyways). I am even willing to leave sex behind. How can this be so bad?? My SO also made mistakes by actually setting up a date with...

OK, so my first attempt at poly was not a success. Please read my previous post... Although I never cheated and was honest from the start, this attempt went nowhere. My approach may have been blunt and brutal but given the circumstances, I could not see any other options to get my message...

Hey I am just stressed out! I meant "love her to death" and then "love her soo much". I don't just "like" her... So poly without sex is possible? Is poly with just intimacy and some contact but without intercouse acceptable or worth pursuing?

Thanks for your replies. I agree with the fact that this is a very messy situation and perhaps shameful. There are additional contextual elements that I have left out for the sake of brevity. My relationship with my SO was in very bad shape (other than sex) and she agrees with this fact. She...

Hello, I really need help. Here is my first attempt at poly. I soo need to talk about this. I am not feeling well and even my work has been suffering. Background: Myself (Male, 35 YO) in LTR 5 years with SO (40YO with 16 YO child). We both come from an alternative background (fetish, kink)...
