So as I said in a recent thread, my husband and I are new to an Open Marriage (not quite poly so I hope this is okay to say here). Anyway, we are both excited about it and feel it's right for us. And we have a great marriage. We both signed up on dating sites just a week ago and already met...

I hope it's okay to add this, but on a related note: is it different to flirt when you're in an open marriage? I still wear my wedding ring.

Great question! I am new to this and wondering too. I don't have any advice but wanted to follow this thread.

Thanks for your thoughts. I realize that in the end, the label itself doesn't really matter. we both know what kind of relationships we are looking for and can explain to anyone who is interested.

typo: meant to say "he" is fine.. not she, lol

As I mentioned in a previous thread, my husband and I are very new to this. I know this is a Poly site but we started off feeling more comfortable labeling ourselves as in an Open Marriage. The reason is that neither of us are ready to have another long-term relationship. We do feel that we...

Thank you for the encouragement about the gray hair. :) On a whim, I signed up for Openminded.com . It's true there aren't as many people on there but wow-- I am already getting a lot of views and some messages. Need to block some people though. Still not sure if the dating sites are for...

Welcome!! My husband and I are new to having an Open Marriage. We live in Phoenix but our dream is to move to Oregon someday!! We visited Salem and Portland two years ago and fell in love with the area.

Thank you--- I will!

THank you so much for that reply! Yes, I did express this to my husband the other night and he was very open and receptive to it. I am really grateful that he will listen to my feelings. Is NRE New Relationship Energy? I think I saw that acronym yesterday. I know we both definitely feel...

I agree and he did tell me that he is in no rush for me. He wants it to be my own thing. Right now, I am happy just going to a Tantra meet up soon.

Thanks!!

okay that's good advice. (and my husband does appreciate the advice although he doesn't know I am asking for him, lol) I also read that it's best to not tell the person right away that they are attracted to them. is that true for you?

on a related note....(sorry if this is off topic)... any suggestions for my husband as he write his first messages to women he is interested in? (from okcupid)

Good to know! My husband completed his profile last night and found a few he wants to tell me about tonight. :) I guess I just wasn't quite ready yet but maybe I'm just nervous. Yes... open minded seemed cool but not as popular.

Thank you. Do you recommend the dating sites? I am too chicken to join right now but it seems the easiest way to meet people who are poly. I am very much into self-love and talk about body image all the time as a former Health Coach. But I know we all have our bad days!

I just want to say I'm new here too and also feel a bit guilty. I grew up in a traditional christian household (am now agnostic) and it's so hard to break the mold! It's freeing and scary at the same time.

Hi everyone, So my husband and I just decided last week that this is what we want to do. At first I was super turned on when he talked about being with another woman. Now, I'm not sure if it's Pms or what, but I find myself feeling insecure about myself which affects how I feel when we talk...

Thank you for the warm welcome! I actually just started teaching a few months ago. I'm also a Certified Health Coach but not currently involved in that. I will definitely look around and post.

For centering myself, I like to take really deep breaths, do yoga, and sometimes meditate. and I just took up adult coloring. :)
