    Should I have...?

    @kdt26417 Before I started a relationship with the wife, I hung out with the husband. I never suspected they were poly. The wife only saw other women until I came along. Their marriage seemed fine. I highly suspect that the combination of me being male and a friend is what started the decline...

    @TomSloan Have you ever had secrets that you wished stayed secret? Maybe something that either of you revealed that changed the relationship?

    Should I have...?

    @GalaGirl I have had groupsex with the wife (FMF) which we were both into. So she thought that groupsex (MFM) with the husband would be in the cards. Which it was not and I had to tell her. You are correct in saying that it was her way of avoiding her issues with her Husband. I suppose there...

    Should I have...?

    @Evie Thanks for the input :) I suppose in the wife's mind, sharing a sexual experience would 'create' a conversation. Maybe me and the husband would discuss how we could work together to satisfy her like a co-operative exercise. It was a strange discussion with the Wife.

    Should I have...?

    I was involved with a women who was in poly relationship with her husband. My relationship with her has since ended, so this might be moot. But I've always wondered what I should have done. I've known the couple for years. When I started a sexual relationship with the Wife, my friendship with...

    Relationship recently ended

    @GalaGirl You are absolutely correct on this matter. I should have been mindful about maintaining the friendship. The honest truth was I put the sex with his wife over our friendship. The sex was something I was willing to sacrifice the friendship for. The experiences I had with the wife were...

    Relationship recently ended

    @GalaGirl Basically, this is how it unfolded: • Me and her were at a pub one night. This is when she came out to me that she was poly. I asked a lot of questions and she answered. I was intrigued by her relationship, but never really pressed afterwards. • A year later, she was at my place. We...

    Group chats

    I was in a group chat with a wife and husband. But that was before I started a relationship with the wife. The group chat went silent. She tried to keep it going by updating with posts to stir conversation. But the issue was that my friendship with the husband became strained to the point we...

    Self love= self pleasure?

    @Evie Love that statement. Hopefully it carries well into my 40s, 50s, 60s. I've enjoyed masturbating in front of my past partners. We've even recorded each other. Not only is it fun and exhilarating, but also educational. We've learned a lot about our likes and dislikes.

    Mono-husband polybombed and wading through the smoke...

    Hi trollbear, My insight might be more cynical and negative. Recently I was in a relationship with a woman that ended very badly. This was my first experience with poly and I came into it with no knowledge and a lot of naivete. She was in a poly relationship with her husband of 15 years. But...

    Ellies intro!

    Hi Ellie (and Bun), I'm also in the same situation. I don't have anyone I can talk to about poly relationships. Everyone I know are in monogamous relationships. Recently, I was with a woman who was in a polyamorous relationship with her husband. I was friends with them for many years. About 2...

    Relationship recently ended

    Thanks for the welcome :) @GalaGirl She only sees other women. But I was the exception. I don't it the agreement with her husband had anything to do with seeing other men. It's just her personal preference of being with other women. I'm still figuring out the confusion. But I think these were...

    Relationship recently ended

    Greetings! I am Ivan. I'm in my late 30s, straight male, single. A couple of months ago, a relationship I had with a woman ended. I was friends with her and her husband for many years. About 2 years ago, she came out to me that she was polyamorous. I didn't fully understand what that meant and...
