    Not mono but not poly, what is my poly identity? How do I "label" my relationship?

    I liked this post a lot. I can relate and my gay friend and I talk about this quite a bit; we;d be an awesome couple if I would just be physically attracted to him. We can connect on a deeper level than just friends but when I see a naked guy I am just plain confused why anyone would be...

    I think I am poly, now what?

    You have hit the nail on the head but unfortunately she is not even slightly receptive. I have let her go and am coming to terms with her anger towards me although I hold no grudge against her. I feel bad that I brought her into this not really understanding myself but I cannot undo the past...

    I think I am poly, now what?

    "I found out about polyamory and resonated with it immediately. I talked to Richard about it and we started seeing each other again as a poly couple. It has worked out very well for us and we have been together as poly for 4 years. " Thank you idealist, I am so glad things worked for you. You...

    I think I am poly, now what?

    Thank you Emm, I really appreciate it and it appears the second talk stuck and I am moving forward and am feeling pretty good. She accepted it on her terms which were rough but I know I cannot avoid hurting her. I really appreciate the support and will search as you advised soon once this haze...

    I think I am poly, now what?

    Thanks Dagferi, I appreciate you trying to help me here. I am not going to date, I do not believe it is the right thing to do until the divorce is final and I come to terms with myself and a possible change in self identity of sorts. I had no idea there was a showtime show. I don't watch much...

    I think I am poly, now what?

    Dagferi, I think you have missed multiple statements I have made: 1. finances are completely un-intertwined and so are all living arrangements. Irrelevant but you brought it up after I explicitely said this. 2. I have no interest in being in a relationship, period. I explicitely said this as...

    I think I am poly, now what?

    Thanks Dagferi but I don't think you are getting what I am looking for here, it's comradery and understanding about what its like to explore this new part of myself. Its easy to feel like no one else has gone through this before even when you know its not true, that's why I am here. I know I...

    I think I am poly, now what?

    Yeah, I am not interested in pursuing any relationship right now. I want to come to terms with this new perspective on my own and then reach out some time down the road. This is why I was interested in people's own experiences. I am with you on ending the marriage, don't think that I am not...

    I think I am poly, now what?

    5555499 I was thinking I should have included all of this while I was making my cofee. I was trying not to write a book. We have sought counseling both of us and both personal and couples starting about 9 months ago. We have been physically separated for 7 months now and I have had my own...

    I think I am poly, now what?

    I agree which is why I had the conversation with her but she seems to disagree and is refusing to quit fighting. So now I feel that I need to bring all these other things which are really me issues not us issues into the equation.

    I think I am poly, now what?

    I cannot answer that question simply since the matter is not black and white to me. I had come to the conclusion that I do not think we can work as a couple and both be happy. I told her this and we had a long talk but she's fighting to hold on and its a consequence of this conversation that I...

    I think I am poly, now what?

    My title is probably a little understating how big the Now What? really is. I have been married for 2 1/2 years and throughout that time I have on occassion felt a stong atraction and I mean physical and emotional to other women. I never pursue and in fact distance myself from the invoker of...

    New to Poly

    My name is Greg and I am new to the idea of being poly but the more I read about it the more it explains my guilt I have had. I never really thought about non-monogamous relationships but have come to the realization that I do love more than one woman and I don't think there's anything wrong...
