Thanks so much for your responses and experiences. Ellemenopea, your story resonated with me very much. I can see my son reacting the same way, as he is very protective over his sister and I. Being the younger one, I've been surprised over the years that he is often the one aching for more...

I'm wondering if anyone can help me by sharing their experience with explaining poly to their children? Our sweet ones are 7 and 10, and it feels like it may be time to have a discussion with my 10 year old daughter. My husband's partner has recently moved away, but mine is still very much in...

Hey Al, Interesting question, and one I have been asking myself as of late as. I share a similar story, having embarked on a poly marriage a year and a half ago after seeing an old flame again. We have been together ever since, and he has become part of our family in many ways. My husband has...

I agree with Spork, the age of the children is definitely important. I have dear friends that have been in a FMF triad for 15 years. The 3 of them live in one town for 6 months of the year, and live separately on and off for the other 6. Their oldest is now 13, youngest is 4. The 'secondary'...

Mimii, May I ask how long you've been together with your partner? Do you have a positive relationship with your meta? I'm probably not the best person to respond as I'm so new to this, but I firmly believe that you never get what you don't ask for. I say go for it. Are your plans to speak...

I'll figure out how to 'quote' others eventually... Spork, so happy for you and the harmony you have with your loved ones. The dancing story put a huge smile on my face. David doesn't have an evil bone in his body. Him telling me all this stuff is solely to use me as a sounding board. His best...

So much great insight to chew on, thank you! Your responses have given me a lot of pause as to what this is doing to Allison, and I think the reality is that she needs more. She needs a man that can be her forever, that will take care of her. She recently stated that if they continue she will...

FallenAngelina~ wow...so insightful. The child part never even crossed my mind as she has always suggested she's not interested in children. That said, I felt the same way until I met David. She's 37, so if it's at all itching at her, it would be now. Thank you for that POV. Everything you...

I appreciate the responses. I don't claim to know anything...we are absolute newbies, and I definitely don't think the boys and I are perfectly put together. It has been a total shitshow! We've just fallen into a great groove that is TODAY. It could all change on a dime, I'm sure. I just think...

I do hope i'm not offending anyone off the bat with the title 'secondary'. I hate it myself, but for the sake of the question... This is my first post, so hello! Thank you to you all for allowing me to quietly learn from your lives. I've been reading since my husband and I started this journey...
