Haha... I think perhaps that would be size-kinging in my case? It is my husband who keeps making stuff bigger. Holidays sure are interesting... I wonder if people who enjoy polyamory are less likely to be introverts, or if it is the same as the rest of the population? (My husband gets me...

I'm just curious how many people live in poly households. I see some folks on this forum who live alone or with a couple of others. Then there are people who have a large family. I imagine there are also some who live in communes or another kind of large group setting. So what's your life...

I'd echo some of what GalaGirl and Ravenscroft have said, and add some of my own. My first "real" experience with a relationship involving more than two people was with my GF#1 and GF#2. I'd had sex with multiple people at once before, but it was the emotional connection that threw me...

I had a low-key, traditional wedding with my husband. A simple religious ceremony followed by a massive feast. One difference between what we did and the typical wedding was that I exchanged promises with my two sister-wives, and my GFs did as well. Our family puts a lot of emphasis on the...

Based on what you wrote, OP, I think that your problem with what's going on isn't so much that your husband has a connection with other people, but that you feel something is being taken away from you. Time with the other woman means less time and connection with you. In my opinion, if...

Not sure where you got that assumption... almost like you think we wouldn't WANT to be together, but are doing it just out of necessity? I got into living this way for love. Not only do I love my husband and my girlfriends, but I'm growing into a loving and intimate relationship with the other...

With my husband, we've always been friends first. We grew up together, and our relationship was hit-and-miss for years until just recently. I think we've finally figured out how to make it work. I was his "official" fiancee for forty days. I thought that took a long time, but since we'd...

I did this briefly with my GFs while my husband and I were still getting things together. I lived with the GFs, and my GF#1 already had a thing going with my husband's Wife #1. I was kind of jealous because I felt like I lost some of her attention for a while, and she'd be gone from the house...

Well....there's one little thing in the way sometimes. I guess you could call it "pride." I kind of avoid asking too many questions of the other women so that I don't come off as ignorant. My introduction to the church was a bit...controversial. For multiple reasons. I can be a bit stubborn...

Is it possible to develop a relationship with this person? Perhaps she is just jealous and might overcome that after getting to know you better? For me, I was apprehensive about my husband's other two wives. I worried that they might have been putting on a front for a while, or that they...

The cheap over-the-counter tests can be inaccurate. Blood tests work better. For me, the result was so strong on both there was no denying it. Since my cycle is usually non-existent and when it does exist is intermittent at best, I had no way of knowing until my sister-wife handed me a test...

The kids are all a bit young yet. The oldest starts school this year. Calling me by my first name probably isn't going to happen...my husband runs a "'Yes sir/ma'am" kind of household...all adults that aren't their parents are addressed as Mr./Mrs./etc.. out of respect. My two girlfriends are...

Yep...I was totally 100% sure that I couldn't get pregnant, but this has been a surprise. Everybody is convinced that this one is a miracle from God. To be honest, I kind of got the impression that the folks on this forum don't really approve of the kind of relationship that I've found myself...

Work isn't the best place to make friends...or date, for that matter. I have a couple of friends from work, but they aren't my closest buddies. Doing activities or being part of a physical community outside of work is the best way to make friendships. If you have an interest, join a group...

This is sort of a terminology question, I guess. I married my husband in January...I'm wife #3. He's had several children with the other two wives, and I'm involved in taking care of them when I'm home. The kids refer to the other two wives as "Mom" interchangeably...for them, having two moms...

Well, groupthink or lovebombing or whatever, I’m definitely on my way to getting married. Actually, now that I’ve had a few days for it to sink it, I’m feeling really, really, happy. I initially felt like things were going too fast… now I can’t wait for the 40 days to be over. It actually...

Well, the whole thing just got real today. My girls (sneaky, devious, adorable little things) have been in on this for a while. When I woke up this morning, I was cuddled up in his arms with my girls laying next to me, and his girls there too. He had the box with the ring he gave me years...

Actually, it is over 300 years old. Just an example, but the super-wealthy Rothschild family has been influencing international affairs since the 1700's. They made a fortune betting on the Napoleonic Wars. Another example, the Bush family, has been around since colonial times. These people...

Kind of. Which is why I’m asking questions. But at this point, I’m also feeling like I’m going against my own grain by not being with him. I’ve always followed my heart, and messing up my relationship with him years ago is one of my biggest regrets. I love my GFs, and I love my ex. Poly...

That is one thing that gives me pause. I ended my relationship with him a long time ago because I was independent and I just wasn't ready to settle down. After all this time, I think he and I have learned how to handle each other. Saying goodbye just never worked out for us. Technically, I...
