    Fun and Frolic With Long-Term Love

    In my case, I would like sex a few times each day while my wife is fine with once or twice a week. We tried various options like wife swapping but that does not provide daily sex. :) My wife recognized the problem and invited her best girlfriend into our marriage to help her out with my sexual...

    Primary asked for a break

    After 38 years if sharing a girlfriend who was a part of our family and part time resident, my wife and I are a couple again. Our gf was supposed to relocate with us and we were going to live our remaining years together. Something prevented her from moving with us and my wife and I decided that...

    Jealousy, Envy, Insecurity, etc.: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    I was lucky enough to marry a woman who never got jealous, because she said she knew that I would never leave her, and even more lucky that the second women in our triad was the same. She accepted that my marriage was the primary relationship and did not get jealous of my wife. She also dated...

    Married and content but lover is iffy...

    I think you may have learned something that perhaps many of us have learned the hard way. Guys will say and agree to anything when horny or offered sex. They will sound sincere too. Not saying that this was the case here but thinking of it and practicing it are two different things. My wife and...

    New poly-relationship has me in crisis!

    There is no law that says you need to share your wife. The great majority of husbands do not so don't think you are unevolved or selfish if you are not into it. Poly is a life choice and not something that should be forced upon a spouse. I have never seen it end well when done like that. Our...

    Relationship with me

    I am a strong believer of marriage. Even though we had a triad with my wife's female lover for most of our 40+ year marriage, our marriage always came first. When we moved away from our girlfriend (how could I not fall in love with her too), we got into a situation like you are in. My wife...

    Another coping thread

    Good advice about. Just do not do something to drive her into the arms of another man. What worked to keep our marriage going for over 40 years and our triad for 38, is open and honest communication. What helps is just asking her what needs you are not fulfilling for her and then work on it...

    New to the Poly world.

    Welcome. Not a great way to start a triad but whatever works, works. My wife and I had a triad with her girlfriend. She lived with us at first and then got married and moved out of State. However, she visited us at least one weekend a month half many times, for a week or two. We made it work for...

    Coming Out to Family - timing and "how?"

    My wife and I shared our life with our girlfriend for most of our 40+ year marriage. We never felt the need to come out as poly and the women never felt the need to come out as bisexual. We just lived our lives and probably because my wife and our gf were married, no one said anything. They all...

    Ask a triad - advice column

    I am in the same thing but I am the male. The two females are bisexual and in love too. We lasted 38 years with no problems, even after our gf got married and started to split her time between us and her husband. We never met anyone in real life with our kind of longevity and have definite ideas...

    Is it OK to ask my partner to request that metamour not interrupt our time together?

    Interesting question. My situation was a little different. My wife was also in love with my girlfriend so we went need everything as a trio when we were together. We avoided having separate lovers after losing our friends to an arrangement like that. Too much drama and trying to please everyone...

    Guilt in a partner

    My experience over the last 40+ years was that if you have to force it or emotions get in the way, odds are that it is not going to last long. Out of 8 couples we knew into poly relationships, we are the only ones who lasted longer than 10 years. It worked for me, my wife and our girlfriend...

    Longevity of relationships

    We lasted for almost 40 years and would still be together if it were not for unforeseen circumstances. We were supposed to grow old together but life did not cooperate. Her is what we had. My wife and I were both in love with her girlfriend who was married to a doctor who was not part of our...

    How much is too much?

    I see some guys using poly as a reason for having sex with whomever they meet without jeopardising their existing relationships. Can you picture a long life together with him feeling the way you do? Can you trust him to tell you ahead of time when he has sex with other women? Do you really...

    Sometimes its sooooo hard

    As a very alpha male, I could not do what you do. My wife and I only had relationships with people we both had emotional bonds with or in a wife swapping environment where we both could see each other. After seeing wife swapping destroying the marriages of our little group, we settled in with...

    Our beginnings

    Our poly relationship lasted almost all of our 40+ year marriage. I attribute that to the fact that we never had relationships with others one on one. We either both shared the person or not at all. It worked for us and never had a problem. None of us every displayed an ounce of jealousy, even...

    Need help/advice/support!

    Poly is not some elevated enlightened way of living and you should not feel ashamed for not embracing it emotionally. Having sex with another women without your approval or knowledge is cheating. It is a betrayal of marriage vows and trust. I used to be away on business overseas for at least a...

    we're new here and asking for your insite

    We recently left a triad tha lasted almost as long as our 40+ year marriage. Very similar to your situation. My wife and I shared her childhood girlfriend. In our case we were very close and considered each other as family. Then we had sex and liked it. My wife discovered she liked sex with her...

    Guidelines, boundries and agreements.

    Personally I am not one for rules and regulations when it comes to relationships. My wife never told me what to do or not to do. You cannot have a full relationship when you have rules to follow. All my wife needed to know is that I would never leave her and would always put her first in my...

    Non-Religious Polygamy

    My wife and I shared her best girlfriend for almost three decades. Our gf was considered as wife number 2. I think if it were possible to marry a third, we would have done so. What we did instead was go to Las Vegas where you can get any kind of ceremony and more if no license is required. We...
