It's been a rough few days. I've been reflecting on the responses in this thread and (as trite as it sounds) doing some soul searching. W and I had a serious talk Monday night. I'd brought up the affair several times in the last few months, explained that I needed to discuss it to be able to...

Well, there is something deeper going on. She is dealing with depression that has been untreated for the better part of a decade.

First of all, thanks to everyone for your replies. I've been reading here for a few weeks and following a lot of helpful links to articles and websites about polyamory, and I know my story probably reads like a "what not to do" manual for polyamory. Kevin, you're right that honesty and consent...

I wonder why I didn't see it coming, but I think I actually kind of did. I had this feeling that I didn't know the whole story and that's why I kept pressing W for answers.

I felt like I'd been hit by a truck. All along I'd been afraid that W wasn't telling me everything, that I was being played for a fool or manipulated. Now I felt like all my fears had been confirmed. That W and H had planned all of this out from the beginning. That H didn't really want to be my...

The messages between H and I stopped because she knew K could access her Facebook account. The only way we could communicate was through her work email, and W and H saw each other at work. I started moping around the house like a sad puppy dog. I missed her. I hated feeling left out during the...

Yes, there is a bit more backstory. I'm trying to type it out on my phone when I have a chance...which isn't often with kids running around. :)

Once again, W being so excited, lunch turned into meeting at a hotel, and the idea of a threesome became a reality. It was scary and exciting...kind of an out of body experience. We were all nervous and giddy and none of us really knew what we were doing, but it was amazing. We all left high on...

W was surprised that I wasn't offended or grossed out by the idea. I don't even know what came over me...I just felt like I'd never clicked with someone so quickly, and I guess I was turned on by the idea. The next day I told H about our discussion and she asked if she could stop by...

It does! I'm sorry to keep you in suspense :o

H and I chatted a lot the next day. I opened up to her about the issues W and I had (were having) with intimacy. She encouraged me to talk to him about it, for us to open up to each other. That it might be hard at first but it would get easier. I said I felt like I hadn't made W feel wanted in...

It turns out H had bought a house just a few streets away from ours in a neighboring subdivision. She had young children as well. I found myself thinking we could be really great friends...maybe our families could get together and the kids could play with each other. After dinner that night, we...

That was an oversight...is it too late for me to edit that out? :/

Hello! I'm "C" - 29, married to "W" for 10 years. We have three children ages 8, 6 and 4. W and I were married young (23 and 20) and we've had a lot of bumps along the road in our marriage. I have always had sexual hangups due to sexual abuse in my childhood and that has led to a lot of...
