Good point. But even if a relationship weren't continually open, it seems like many monos would have a hard time dealing with their partner being with even one other. You seem to be very comfortable with yourself and your relationship, from what I've read, but some people, such as my current...

Welcome! I'm pretty new here too. Been reading and finding lots of thought-provoking posts and I'm amazed at how much I relate to so many of them... this is a good place. :)

I'm sure it's possible for a polyamorous person to love and be in a relationship with a monogamous one, but it would take a lot more work than if both were polyamorous. The monogamous partner would have to be okay with you being involved with others. If you are going to try to make it work, stay...

OP - "Protecting your feelings" is one of the first ways a relationship can go wrong, IMO. I'm sorry to say this and it is only my opinion... but also, this is a recent thing for you guys, and maybe you can still make the relationship work. If you really think you could make this work then I...

I think jealousy is a natural emotion and most people in any relationship have to deal with it. I realize that the jealousy is usually due to my own insecurities. I am VERY insecure, even when it comes to friendships. But I also think that jealousy is something to be dealt with and overcome...

This whole thread really was wonderful to read. I am new to poly as well, but I can relate to so much of it, especially the first few posts. My advice is, if you truly are poly and she truly is mono, it may be best to end it now. Don't put aside your feelings. My gf and I discussed poly because...

I think that honest communication is the most important part of any relationship, and she doesn't sound like she can do that. Cheating can still exist in poly relationships, too.

Heh, it's good to discuss all aspects! :)

I am in the same boat right now :)

Sorry, wasn't trying to be insulting at all. Of course I respect everyone's choices. I just kind of think that maybe some people haven't explored the option of poly because it doesn't cross their minds as something that would be possible. If everyone could feel secure, why not trust your partner...

Thank you! :)

Hello All, I just joined the forum tonight. I have been thinking about polyamory for a few years now, but as I am in a long-term, monogamous relationship with someone who definitely is NOT open to seeing other people, I have never looked into it. She is very unreceptive to the idea. But...

Heh yep I know where that is too - I live about ten minutes off of 94 and 12 mile.

I'm glad you found your loves.. :) SCS is only a few minutes from me!

Hi all. I just joined this forum tonight. Been feeling like polyamory is the lifestyle for me for a few years now but never dealt with it. But due to some changes in my (long term, monogamous) relationship, I think it is time to finally discuss and explore these feelings. Look forward to...
