Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I have been in a secondary relationship for half a year. I feel no need to have other physical partners. I am married to someone else, though, which makes this a problem. My husband and I have other issues, too, and I've posted about them before...

I just typed this to a friend. I'm pasting it here because I don't have the energy to re-explain. I hope it makes sense. Husband and I have been married for almost 8 years, together for 9, poly for 1, open-ish before that for 1 more. My husband is losing his mind about my other relationship. He...

Hi! I bet there are other threads on this topic, but the search function wasn't working for me, so feel free to point me in the direction of other threads. Anyhow, I have a question about when and how you guys choose to fluid bond with a partner. I had a fluid bonded secondary partner for a...

Hi! Been officially poly about 9-10 months. I'm married to my primary and have had two significant secondary relationships (6 months, 4 months, respectively) in that time. Both ended in breakups mostly initiated by me. I've noticed that I'm a lot less prone to tolerate negativity or relationship...

Hi, Was wondering if anyone here has experience with this...basically, my partners and I and their partners want to create a series of simple regulations to allow us to have barrier free sex within the group, but I was wondering how others handled this. Specifically, I am curious about what...

Hi there :D I posted a few times when I first became poly...March 2010. At the time my husband N was not so sure about poly but, not being a super jealous sort, and always having been unconventional himself, somewhat grudgingly "let" me carry on a long-distance relationship with M, whom I only...

My husband is taking the news of my burgeoning relationship with M pretty well...or seemed to be. Lately he is quieter. I talk about M, just basic things he's telling me about his life, not about "us" or anything, and husband has very little to say. Part of it, I think, is M is going through...

"but why would you need to have sex with someone else? you must be so unhappy" I'd rather not say who said this to me to protect the anonymity of my situation as much as possible. Suffice it to say it was someone close to me and not my husband and not my OSO. I was "coming out" to her about my...

This is the question echoing in my head all day today. I think there must be some kind of "coming out to yourself as poly" 5 stage process...and one of the stages is thinking you're just an incredible asshole :( All through high school and college, I always, always had extra-relationship...

what to do when partner is supportive of other rlnshp but doesn't "get" poly? So my husband is fine with my pursuing a potential relationship with my other love interest, M. We talked more last night, and he is even fine with me seeing him and spending the night with him (the only real tension...

LOL After having the talk with DH, and then chatting with M online last night, I really feel like... this is so much better than I ever imagined. The thing I was not expecting was how talking with M and having that would make me more giving and loving with DH. I am better able to engage him...

I dug right in on the "New to Polyamory Forum" asking for advice :o But just wanted to introduce myself here as well. I'm 30 years old, married, and bi. What's brought me here, though, is really more an interest in a specific person. I'm married to my husband of almost 6 years, and we have a...

I sort of can't believe that I'm here, but thank you for letting me be :) I've been married to a great man for the past almost 6 years, and we have a 3 year old daughter together. Our relationship has been monogamous until now. We're in our 30s. When I was younger (high school and college), I...
