Went out with Mechanic on a date last night. We managed to find a sitter so took advantage, lol. We went to my favorite restaurant in the area and had a great time. Lots of quality conversation. :) Going out tonight on that first date with someone new. I'm incredibly excited/nervous. We...

So...I have a date with someone else I met on OKC on Friday. We've been talking for 5 weeks now and seem to get along well online and through text at least. I'm excited/nervous but mostly excited. This guy identifies as solo poly and is a couple years younger than me, he seems to have a great...

Figured I'd update a bit, it's been awhile. I'm leaving to visit my parents tomorrow until the weekend. Hopefully we'll have lots of fun. So far I have plans to sit in on a kickboxing class my sister teaches, swimming at the lake with my family and dinner or lunch with my longest friend...

I'm still very happy from my date with Gamer last night and he actually started talking about things we'll be doing together months and even years from now, it was so nice to know that we're in a similar place with what we want from each other, but it'll be two weeks before our next date while...

I tend to not follow directions well as far as closing times, lol. Most of the parks around here are closed at dusk too but no one really cares, at least that's been my experience. That sounds like a beautiful cemetary! I'll actually be visiting MA in a couple weeks, might need to make a...

We actually did some of that last night on our walk, lol. On his phone only because mine gets horrible internet but it was pretty fun.

Glad I'm not the only person with a fondness for cemeteries. I've always found them to be so peaceful, I love to walk through them when I get a chance. Thanks for another idea!

Thanks PinkPig there are some great ideas in there!

Thanks for the suggestion. :) Gamer doesn't have kids himself, but his wife is unable to work and can't leave the home much due to health reasons so he's going with her comfort level which I really respect. We have had sex once and would like to again but it's a matter of time and location...

I've been dating someone for about a month now but our schedules are so hard to work around, we basically have one night a week between work and family things that we can get together and that's 50% of the time after 9pm. We live in a pretty small town area and have done the late night at a...

I'm so excited for tonight! Gamer and I are going to go stargazing at a park, I can't wait for the alone time with him. (We did kiss on our last date BTW and it was great, I felt like a teenager again making out in the park, lol) Mechanic seems to finally be in a really good place with all of...

Mechanic and I had decided to put everything on hold for awhile with poly while he sorted out his feelings but after a few days he told me that he felt he was in a better place with the idea and I decided to start putting myself out there. I messaged a nice guy--let's call him Gamer--on OKC...

This all seems like one big, new adventure to me, hence the title. :) Mainly I think this will be a good way to process my feelings and thoughts as the evolve in this new chapter of my life. I guess I'll start with a little about myself and my relationship(s). I've been married to my...

:) Thank you FallenAngelina. It's taken a lot of time, self-care and work to get to where I am now. Thank you for all the help and feedback.

I spoke with him last night and he has agreed to get help from a therapist. He seems to want to put in the work after realizing how deeply this is effecting both himself and our relationship. I had a lot of insecurity issues when I met him 10 years ago, he is the first and only long term...

Thank you for the warm welcome! This seems like a great online community so far. :) "I think that we all have to shape our worlds in the ways that seem healthiest and best for our situation." I couldn't agree more Spork, that's exactly how I look at things.

Thank you both. :) I appreciate the feedback. I think I would like to definitely put the brakes on applying non-monogamy to our relationship until this is sorted out, this needs to be something we both are comfortable with and despite what he says it's obvious to me that he is not 100% there...

When my husband and I began talking about poly as a serious possibility and opening our marriage he was encouraging and excited. He seemed really happy with the idea and has even gone so far as to set up a dating profile for himself on OkCupid and begin messaging women. I haven't set up a...

Hello! I've been lurking for awhile reading various threads and have gained a lot of insight already. :) I hope to get to know some of you and participate in conversations! My husband and I have begun to talk about opening our relationship and are both excited (and a little nervous to tell...
