Keep reading in the forum I'm not clear from your post if your girlfriend is interested in a "bi" relationship with a another woman that would make the two of you a trio. If so, could she participate in the search as well? There's probably a lot of information in the forum on a search like...

I understand a little better, but... Does your friend in another country understand that you want her to join you and your wife in a relationship that includes sex? I'm still not clear if she understands exactly what your expectations are. It would be unfortunate for her to travel from another...

Welcome, Art It would probably be best to explain a little more about your situation before someone could offer helpful comments. For instance, the woman your and your wife have selected to be a companion, how well do you know her?

Welcome It's interesting to see your comfort level with the lifestyle. I'm new here as well, not only to the forum but to the lifestyle, which I endorse but have yet to practice. For many years it has seemed right for me, but this is the first time I've decided to take a stand and tell...

Well told story Very nicely written, you come across as a caring and connected person. I wish you the best in handling the various relationships.

Welcome Don't have any answers, really, but send you well wishes in your search. There probably isn't a better place to figure it out than here. Take your time. I'm taking mine, and have just begun the journey.

Welcome Hope this forum helps.

Welcome This is a good place to clarify what it all means. I've discovered that Polyamory is an umbrella term covering many lifestyles. Among them, there is probably something that feels right for each person.

When my wife left me... ... for another man, I would have very much appreciated her making the same offer to me that your wife has to you. She didn't of course, but if she had I would have gladly accepted.

The timing of his revelation about polyamory... ... is a little surprising to me. But, as I see, it was OK with you, Dragonsbyte. I have a personal ad on OKCupid and state upfront that I am interested in the lifestyle known as polyamory. In fact, I corresponded with a new woman on that site...

Interesting conversation... Children come first. Tired and exhausted trumps a tryst. I'm impressed that you are so present and involved with life and people. The alternative is isolation and escape, sort of the life I'm living at the moment.

Considering seminary... That's interesting. Wonder what kind of school you would consider... Wonder how the Duke Divinity School would handle polyamory?

What and when to tell a child This is probably the most difficult question for me, now that I am considering committing to the lifestyle and philosophy of polyamory. My 22 yr old son has had difficulty with his mom and me divorcing, and he hated going back and forth between homes as a kid. And...

Nicely told story This is a very interesting and information story of polyamory, and I'm surprised that there have not been more replies to it over the first 8 months that it has been posted. And, as well, it continues to confirm my suspicion that librarians are some of the most interesting...

In NYCindie's defense, not that she needs it or asks for it, or that I have any interest in combative banter in this forum, but 9inchtongue's comment is way beyond the boundaries of courtesy, decency, and helpful exchange of ideas. Not to mention, the name itself is a poor face to present to...

Solo Poly wish list Just being on this forum is about all the commitment I'm capable of at the moment. This is hard work, and has sapped my reading time from my general diet of histories and biographies. I haven't even had time to read the newspaper or The Nation on my Kindle. But I'm very...

Recovery and Polyamory I am very moved by this thread, and am glad that I found it here. I am very familiar with the 12-steps and they pretty much are my guide to life and religion, though in practice by imperfect human beings, as we all are, they have had mixed success. My addictions are of...

"Oh Lord, Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" Thanks for all your comments, though some, I feel, misinterpreted my intentions, I learn from feedback about human nature, and the foibles of communication. What I thought I was writing as satire, humor, and subtle hints at the intrinsic and...

I'm Frank. When I met Ginger, 30 years ago, she was living with Tom. She lied to Tom that she was going to the beach With her best friend, Jill. She went with me, instead. Ginger and I got married. Tom never forgave me. Ginger and I became good friends with Helen and Sam. I used to be Helen's...

That's what I wanted Kyle, that's pretty impressive. The only thing more I could ask for would be to wrap the text around the image, but that's probably asking too much. Anyway, thanks for your instructions, and I will study them, though I don't really know the distinction between the BBCode...
