    Yes, the personal growth has been worth it all.

    Update

    Thank you all for your thoughts and concern. This has been sad and painful in many ways, but due to things I do know that it is the right path. I will share something that is at the root of most of this. The other wife doesn't see the dishonesty and such. She creates her own reality of...

    Update

    Due to many outside responsibilities, I haven't been on the forums in a long time. It isn't that I haven't been interested, it's that I have some limitations....time and finances at the moment for internet access. However, I got a message asking about our quad and it made me realize that I need...

    My Wife is Poly in Denial

    Different title an as an unregistered user. I'll send you the link privately if you'd like. I probably shouldn't have mentioned thus at all and if I'd had been thinking properly I doubt I would have.

    My Wife is Poly in Denial

    This was posted on a swingers forum as well. Where he was told that their relationship wasn't well enough, strong enough to withstand swinging. Nor was it a poly relationship.

    Hello.....and question :)

    We've dealt with this in the past. We are a quad of two couples and that at times has led to no privacy. Not all of us have felt that the relationships should be, or are, completely separate in some ways. Gator asked specific questions about everything. Well, I don't tell Tech everything about...

    Knowing your audience

    Did you take the easy way out? In my opinion, absolutely not! But does it matter? The way you took appears to have been successful and isn't that the most important thing? Great for you!!!

    What words do you use - lover, partner, girlfriend, boyfriend, something else?

    His name mostly but as a way to state our relationship to others then we use boyfriend. And I hate that. To me it doesn't totally convey what he means to me. I've tried to come up with a better name but I was never successful and he is the one that settled on that description.

    Primary/Secondary: Merged Threads/General Discussion/Debate

    I've tried explaining this to some lately. I even wrote a blog post on this. Gator is my primary and Tech is my secondary, not that I'm unwilling to have them both as primary, it's mostly a situation thing that they both aren't my primaries. Primary doesn't really mean to me that I love one of...

    House "Open marriage" episode

    I saw the episode. It was done in the usual style for that show I feel. As a whole, I guess it was handled OK. I've certainly seen it handled worse. I wasn't truly offended and that may be saying a lot.

    I have a crush

    Well, congratulations!! Terrifying isn't boring. You are feeling something and not closed off. I consider that a good thing. Good luck to you!

    The opposite of compersion

    First, I'll tell you that I understand how you are feeling. I'm a wee bit protective of my men as well. And I don't like for them to be hurt...by me or any one else in their lives (it doesn't have to be a romantic relationship). If I've been the one to hurt them, and I''m realistic enough to...

    my little poly dream might be coming true :)

    I'm very envious. I would love to have Tech closer to me. I'd settle for an hour closer actually. Congratulations!!!!!

    Responsibility of Thirds......

    Tech absolutely does not understand this about me and I just can't find a way to explain it to him that he 'gets'. We can be lucky that way I suppose. Nothing like a stubborn man...or two. ;)

    Rules? Annoying or necessary?

    I would definitely agree with you on this one. Just never thought of it in exactly that way. Thank you! Awesome. Marco, I agree with the others. Renegotiation seems to be the order. And I also understand how one pet name only can cause these reactions. Gator has always called me princess and...

    Responsibility of Thirds......

    I'm a weird person some might say but I don't always think losing your temper is a bad thing. Passion is passion really. If GG is usually in control, then him losing control emphasized how strongly his feelings about this were. And good for you in letting Maca know he can't have it both ways...

    Responsibility of Thirds......

    Therein lies the problem and it's good that you recognize it. That's the start of changing it. Tech doesn't to this well either. And really struggles to even see the need. One of our worst arguments was over this. Here's my take on it....he will never, on his own, believe everything I feel...

    Basic Quad??

    This pretty much describes us at this point. Arwen is bisexual and she and I have been intimate though I do not consider myself bisexual (I have feelings about what that means). The guys are strictly hetero though there have been MFM threesomes. But mostly these days we are as your diagram...
