Excellent point!!

...oh and there are 10+ kids and 2 grand kids in the polyship....

My partner, Jill, has 4 partners, one of Which she is legally married to. She lives with me, not her husband. She divides her time up 2 days with each partner except for 1 partner who gets 1 day a week. We all see the same relationship counselor, preventatively (there are no major issues at...

Wow... A lot of different ways to look at it. After everyone's advice and opinions, it doesn't seem was threatening as it did before. I know she loves sex with me, and that is all that matters. I want her to have a good I sex life and that would obviously entail good sex with others as well. I...

Ok, so I will keep this as PG rated as possible, but here is the situation... My girlfriend (Jill) and I had an... encounter with another of her partners (Mark). During the encounter, I experienced some issues/fears about sexual inadequacy from seeing Mark and Jill together. I'm very confident...

So, I'm currently living with my girlfriend, "Jane". She is married to "John", but John lives in his own apartment. John and Jane lived together for 5 years prior to my relationship with Jane (monogamously). I now live here with my 17 year old daughter and her 15 year old daughter. My sons come...

If you happen to be in the Indianapolis area, let me know we are currently seeing an amazing therapist that is extremely good with Poly.

Where is the "LIKE" button for these posts??? I mean, really?

All good points and a lot to think about. I appreciate everyone's input. Maybe for now we keep up the counseling and see how that goes. I just know in my heart that I am ready for compersion. I know that he is not. He still pulls at her and digs at me when they are together. When she tells...

I'm in a poly Vee where my metamour and I cannot get along. We both have resentment towards each other. This is so hard on our girlfriend and is causing her extreme stress. This is something I'm sure that neither "Jack" or myself want for our love. Hearing from our girlfriend, Jack has decided...

Wish you the best of luck. I came out as poly a few weeks ago to everyone in my life. I don't regret it in the least, but had a bit of backlash from certain people in my life. I'm happy for you and I'm proud that you have the courage it takes to come out!

One thing I didn't mention is that even with everything that happened, I don't regret being out. I knew there would be those that wrinkled up their nose and I expected some backlash... But I never expected this. Still, I would do it all again.

So, a few weeks ago, I decided it was time to come out as poly. I'm a straight man who has always felt like I am capable of loving multiple people and I feel amazing after coming out. I am now out to my family, children, friends, Facebook and even some coworkers. The drama came when yesterday...

Ok, I know I haven't written in a while, but things have been crazy and things are changing drastically (for the better.. I think) Once I have a few minutes, I'll put my thoughts to "paper" and update my blog.

That line of thinking is understandable. I believe that even I long for something similar. After all, isn't poly about "many loves"? If you are poly, you almost have an innate need to feel love towards and from multiple partners. (I know I do) Maybe getting out and dating someone else will help...

Thank you, thank you... These are SO helpful.

Amen.

Judging from what I know and how I commit to a serious emotional relationship, I'd say my saturation level would be 2 deeply emotional & physical partners and possibly 1 "part time FWB". Although, at this point in my life, I don't know if I really would want the FWB. But I'm always open to...

Similar to a situation that I have been in... Husband is a "swinger" type mentality, perfectly fine with sexual non monogamy but drew the line at emotional non monogamy. Wife is truly poly, believes in many deep committed emotional & physical loves. --- Not only can it cause issues for the...

We have not sat down since things have gotten bad. The only thing that we have done is he has told me that he "veto'd" me and I should leave my relationship with Boo. Boo and I neither want our relationship to end and Boo has explained that she will not end her relationship with me. At this...
