    Mono wife wants me to be poly

    I can say that for me, it was difficult to break my vows and my monogamous nature. For months I felt guilty even kissing the girlfriend despite my wife assuring me that it made her very happy seeing us together. It's hard work. Only you can decide if it's worth it for you.

    Trying out a triad

    Pumpkin told me that one of her friends (let's call her Barb) said I was "hot" which is a nice ego boost for me. We think that Barb might have put 2 and 2 together and figured out it equals 3 😅

    Trying out a triad

    I'm leaving in the morning on another business trip. I'm not looking forward to an eight hour flight, but that's the job. Pumpkin is out tonight with old friends. I'm glad she is spending some time with friends because I think she has fallen out of touch with them since she moved in with us.

    Trying out a triad

    As it gets closer to the anniversary of my wife dropping the bomb, I find myself thinking back to the first steps. I wish things had moved a bit slower. I really enjoyed those nervous moments like just gazing into Pumpkin's eyes when we just at the talking stage. The times we would make out on...

    Trying out a triad

    Pumpkin was looking really good in a tank top and little cutoff shorts, and she knew it. I was sitting on the couch reading a book and I noticed that she found a lot of things to pick up on the floor in front of me, that she was only bending over at the waist, and that picking things up...

    How open are you about being polyamorous?

    When Pumpkin and Cookie were out on a date, they were seen by an old coworker/friend of Cookie's. Cookie introduced Pumpkin as her girlfriend. This is the first and so far only person that she has been out to, but she knew that it was a safe person to tell. Cookie is nervous about coming out...

    Trying out a triad

    Having a weekend away at a B&B with Cookie while Pumpkin manages the kid. Today is "Family Fun Day" with the extended family, so that will help keep the kid occupied. I reminded Pumpkin that she is family so she is required to have fun because it's in the name. Cookie's family is a little upset...

    Trying out a triad

    She doesn't know - they haven't said or done anything that would indicate they have any suspicions. Pumpkin would never ask because she is very sensitive about "outing" anyone due to her own trauma "coming out". She is not. She is not comfortable discussing our bedroom affairs with anyone...

    Trying out a triad

    Had a nice "cuddle puddle" this morning just snuggling in bed for a bit. It's rare that someone doesn't have to get up early and rush off. The girls were teasing me for being "white bread" because I had always been conservative and traditional. I had to remind Cookie that she was just as...

    New way to love-- opening my marriage

    I think I know exactly how you are feeling. After 20 years, my wife sprung it on me that she wanted to explore a relationship with her friend who had moved in to help with childcare. It took me on a rollercoaster of emotions for months before things felt normal again. There are still some...

    Trying out a triad

    I tried moving my HF antenna to make it easier to mow around, but ended up wrecking my SWR. A work in progress. Despite the heat, I baked a few loaves of bread. I need the practice for the county fair. Pumpkin had a horse show today and took grand champion. It was great to see her smile. She...

    What are the signs my wife is hinting for a open relationship?

    I remember sitting on the couch with my wife and her friend watching the movie "The Mule". When the main character took two women back to his motel room, my wife's friend asked me if I wanted to have a threesome. I thought that she was just teasing me and trying to embarrass me - or worse, get...

    Top 5 Best Things About Being Polyamorous

    My favorite things? Having an extra 'mom' means that my kid gets more attention. Splitting the household work between three adults means less work for everyone, leaving more time for fun activities. When I'm away for work, my wife is not parenting alone.

    Happy pride month...?

    Since my wife and her girlfriend would be considered LGBTQ and also poly, the two are connected in my mind - but if we were only having hetero poly relationships, would it still be part of 'pride"? If Pride Month is to celebrate alternative lifestyles, than I would think that includes poly...

    Trying out a triad

    Cookie introduced Pumpkin as her girlfriend when they ran into a friend while out shopping. That was the first time she admitted her new 'situation' to anyone.

    Trying out a triad

    We all went camping over the weekend. It was Pumpkin's first time camping, and I don't think she enjoyed it much. I think going on a cruise is more to her liking. For me, sitting in the woods staring at a campfire and doing absolutely nothing is exactly what my psyche needs. I get that it is...

    Trying out a triad

    It's been a while since I've posted anything, so I thought I should post something. Things haven't really changed. Pumpkin and Cookie still spend most of their time together. I still feel like a third wheel sometimes. I enjoy the physical intimacy in the bedroom, but I wish I could have more...
